FAQs
Are these sneakers machine washable?
No, because they feature a leather upper, machine washing will damage the material. Please clean them manually using a damp cloth.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the ARA Osaka 2.0 features removable footbeds, making them fully compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How do I care for the navy leather?
Keep the leather clean with a damp cloth and apply a navy-colored or neutral leather cream periodically to maintain the color and suppleness.
Is the sizing consistent with standard UK shoe sizes?
Yes, the ARA Osaka 2.0 is designed to fit standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet or plan on wearing thick winter socks, you may want to consider your standard size carefully.
What should I do if the leather gets wet?
Allow the sneakers to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using hair dryers or placing them near heaters as extreme heat can crack the leather.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stiff or sticks during use
Apply a tiny amount of candle wax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth to help the slide move smoothly.
Insoles feel compressed over time
Remove the insoles and let them air out for 24 hours. If they have lost their support, replace them with new ARA-compatible inserts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ARA Osaka sneakers, start by checking the fit when wearing the type of socks you intend to use daily. Because the footbed is removable, you can easily swap it for a medical-grade insert if necessary. For care, wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. We recommend using a leather conditioner or cream every few months to keep the material supple and prevent drying. The removable insoles can be aired out or hand-washed with mild soap if they lose their freshness. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the leather.
