FAQs
Can I wash these sneakers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these leather sneakers, as the heat and water can permanently damage the leather and the structure of the shoe.
Are the insoles included?
Yes, each pair comes with a 12 mm High-Soft insole that is fully removable.
What does Width H mean?
Width H is a sizing designation used by ARA for 'wide' or 'strong' feet, providing more space in the toe box and the midfoot area.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, since the factory-provided insoles are removable, you can easily swap them for custom orthotic inserts.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather is durable, but it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect against light rain.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper and move it up and down a few times.
Shoe feels too wide
If the shoe is too loose, replace the original insole with a thicker orthopedic insert or use an additional cushioned footbed liner to fill the volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ARA Osaka sneakers, keep the following in mind:
- Insole Management: If you use custom orthotics, remove the original 12 mm High-Soft insole carefully. Ensure your new insert is sized correctly to fit the wide H-profile.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cleaner or protector spray to maintain the red finish and protect the material from water stains or dirt accumulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the bamboo lining properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading over time.
