FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Because these trainers are made of genuine leather, machine washing will damage the material and construction. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Does the wide fit apply to the entire shoe?
Yes, the H-Extra Wide fit designation indicates a broader construction throughout the forefoot and midfoot area.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather upper offers natural resistance, but they are not classified as waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a damp climate.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom-made orthotics for better arch support.
How do I care for the zipper?
Keep the zipper teeth clean of grit. If the zipper becomes stiff, you can run a dry graphite pencil tip over the teeth to act as a lubricant.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance walking?
They are designed for comfort and casual daily use. While suitable for walking around town, they lack the specific shock-absorption technology required for long-distance athletic hiking or running.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the shoe
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly. Loosen the lace tension to give the material more slack before attempting to zip.
Insole sliding inside the shoe
Check that the insole is properly aligned within the heel cup and verify that no debris is trapped underneath it.
Leather appearing dry or scuffed
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or a red leather-specific cream to restore moisture and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ARA OSAKA Trainers, begin by adjusting the lace tension while wearing your preferred socks, then use the side zipper for subsequent use. The shoes are compatible with various custom orthotic inserts due to the removable nature of the provided textile footbed. For maintenance, clean the leather upper regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather encounters water or mud, wipe it down immediately with a damp (not soaking) cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.
