Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for orthotics?
Yes, the Osaka 2.0 features a removable Highsoft insole, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics.
What does the H-width fit mean?
The H-width is an extra-wide fit designed for individuals who need more volume and space in their footwear.
How should I clean the bamboo lining?
The bamboo lining is naturally moisture-wicking. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the interior if needed, but avoid submerging the shoe in water.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are crafted from leather and are not waterproof; it is recommended to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you anticipate light rain.
Is the sole non-slip?
The air-cushion sole provides good traction for standard city walking, but use caution on exceptionally smooth or wet surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels tight after inserting custom orthotics
Ensure the original ara insole has been completely removed before placing your custom orthotic inside.
Leather surface shows light scuffing
Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner matched to the beige/cream tone to buff out minor scuffs.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction cotton laces if the original pair is too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ara Osaka 2.0 trainers last, keep them clean by wiping the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. If the shoes become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
For compatibility: If you plan to use your own orthotics, pull the existing Highsoft insole out from the heel area first. Ensure your custom orthotic is the correct size before inserting it to avoid bunching. Since the shoe is a lace-up model, you can further fine-tune the volume by adjusting the tension of the laces across the instep.
