FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for orthotics?
Yes, the ARA Osaka Zip features removable insoles, making them compatible with most custom-made orthotic inserts.
What does 'H' width mean?
The 'H' designation refers to an extra-wide fit, providing more volume and width in the toe and midfoot areas than a standard shoe.
Can the leather be polished?
Yes, you can use a neutral or red-tinted leather cream to maintain the color and suppleness of the leather.
Is the lining suitable for winter?
The shoe features a textile cold lining designed for moderate temperatures, though it is not intended for extreme sub-zero weather conditions.
How high is the heel?
The Osaka Zip has a flat 35mm heel, which provides a supportive, ergonomic foundation for walking.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Use a light application of a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Foot feels too loose
Adjust the lace tension to secure the midfoot, or consider using a thicker aftermarket insole if the fit remains loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARA Osaka Zip shoes remain in excellent condition:
- Initial Setup: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension upon first wear, then utilize the side zip for future daily use.
- Orthotic Compatibility: If you use custom insoles, remove the factory textile footbed before inserting your own.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth followed by a leather-safe conditioner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
