FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the trainers. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth.
Are the materials sustainably sourced?
Yes, 100% of the leather used in these trainers is sourced from tanneries with Leather Working Group Gold- or Silver-Certification.
Do these fit true to size?
The Arla trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. If you typically wear a specific UK size in leather trainers, we recommend selecting that same size.
How do I remove the logo charm?
The logo charm is a decorative feature intended to remain on the shoe; we do not recommend removing it as it may affect the lace integrity.
Can I wear these for sports or running?
These trainers are primarily designed for fashion and lifestyle use rather than intense athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuffs on the rubber sole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a white pencil eraser to gently remove surface scuffs from the side walls.
Leather becoming stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Arla Trainers are made of high-quality leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Sole Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to scrub the rubber sole sides, ensuring they stay bright white.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the upper.
- Fit Check: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you choose your usual size for the best fit.
