FAQs
Are these sneakers machine washable?
No, you should not machine wash these sneakers as the suede material and construction are not designed for immersion in water.
Does the H-width fit true to size?
Yes, but they are wider than average. If you usually struggle with narrow toe boxes, the H-width will provide the extra room you need.
Can I wear these without socks?
The bamboo-based lining is very skin-friendly and breathable, making them a comfortable option even if you prefer not to wear socks.
What is the primary benefit of the bamboo lining?
The bamboo lining is exceptionally breathable and moisture-wicking, helping to maintain a hygienic and cool environment inside the shoe.
Are the insoles replaceable?
Yes, the High-Soft insole is fully removable, allowing you to easily swap it for custom orthotic insoles if required.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material.
Insole feels too thin or worn out
The insole is removable; you can replace it with a new ARA factory insole or your preferred high-quality insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARA sneakers last, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: The insoles arrive pre-installed. If you use custom orthotics, simply lift the edge of the existing insole to remove it before inserting your own.
- Compatibility: The H-width profile is best suited for individuals who find standard 'medium' or 'D' width shoes too tight across the forefoot.
- Care:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid water-based cleaners directly on the suede.
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the beige material.
