Stylish, Comfortable Sneakers
I was really excited to get these sneakers because I had been wanting a nice pair of all-white shoes, and these did not disappoint. They look clean, stylish, and go with pretty much anything. They’re also easy to wipe down, which helps keep them looking fresh. I’ve already found myself wearing them more than I expected. The only thing I wish was better is the quality of the laces — they feel a bit cheap — but it’s a minor issue and not a dealbreaker. Overall, very happy with these.

Armani Exchange… Where That Name Isn’t the Only Thing Worth Wearing
Folks, I'm a guy who likes to stay fit and active.I work out 6 or 7 days a week and part of that includes running 5 miles every morning (no, I am not about to tell you, you should be running in these Armani Exchange sneakers).However, what I am going to tell you is that I do take a serious position in terms of the quality of my footwear. And part of that means wearing quality shoes and sneakers. But it also means not wearing the same shoes and/or sneakers every day. I switch them out so that no shoe or sneaker is ever worn by me 2 days in a row.As everyone knows, different sneakers can also be utilized for specific activities. I have two pairs of running sneakers. A pair of quality walk around town sneakers (that are heavier and built more with an eye towards longevity and comfort, and are worn over a longer period of time).But I found myself needing a really nice quality, neutral colored sneaker or walking shoe for occasions where I wish to be closer to business casual in my appearance, in a relaxed setting. Something that would not require dress shoes, but also would not cause me to be utilizing sneakers that have other intended purposes in my life.Enter... These Gorgeous... Armani Exchange sneakers in black.The first thing that I do want to stress is, this is not simply a highly respected name. These sneakers have a lovely and sleek style to them. They have that ability of being dressy and casual simultaneously! That's not an easy task... but it is accomplished by these Armani Exchange black lovelies I am now wearing, and they do so effortlessly.I tend to wear a men's 11 (wide when available).As it turns out, I find that these Armani Exchange sneakers are cut just a bit wider than your average sneaker. Although not listed as wide in size, they fit my slightly wider foot perfectly.I also found that in the front of the sneaker, there is just a bit of extra room for your toes to splay comfortably as you walk. Speaking for myself... in size 11, this is a very comfortable and accurate fit for my foot.In terms of actual style, I find their clean lines and traditional styled simplicity, blended with rather thick stout laces, and an overall nod towards detail and quality, really makes them stand out as lovely, dressy sneakers... without drawing too much attention to themselves while doing it... (some people wear sneakers with blinking lights on the soles; these sneakers are conservative and refined).I would also like to add (in my opinion) these are so stylish, within the confines of being a bit on the more conservative side of a sneaker, that I would consider them, when needing a walking shoe as well.Once inside the sneaker and walking, the experience is quite pleasing and comfortable.The cut and styling of this sneaker is a continuation of the attention to detail that this manufacturer places on their products. They just feel comfy and there is a good sense of solid (flat) support in the footbed.I mention this aspect of solid and flat, because the sneaker does not have any sort of arch support in the footbed. I would be someone who would most definitely add insoles to my sneakers for them to be of ultimate comfort for my use. (But... that is not something which is necessary, it is just a preference that I have for arch support). If one had to find one thing lacking, that would be it. However, it is quite easily overcome and not at all unusual.One also has the ability of pulling these sneakers quite taut in terms of their thick laces, and if you require a tighter hold on the sides of your feet, the manner in which this sneaker was manufactured, accomplishes this effortlessly.So folks, here we have a blend of excellence all rolled into one exceptional sneaker.They look and feel great.One can tell they were manufactured with an eye towards quality.These sneakers satisfy my specific needs.A little on the pricey side, but not for a designer name of this quality and stature.Based on the name, one expects craftsmanship... and is not disappointed.Highly recommended!✅

high return fee
buyer beware. I bought these shoes because the customer reviews were good with the shoe aade of good quality, however when I received them and tried them on the leather was not soft but ver stiff and the shoe fitted bigger than expected. too my surprise when I returned the shoe I was very surprised to be notified of a $85 returned fee against my refund. no where on the vendor purchasing site or on amazon buying site was I appraised of this ridiculous high charge (46%). I am disappointed in amazon and or the vendor (Armani) for not having some more noticeable notification of this high fee a there purchase site..
