FAQs
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the material composition of the bamboo upper.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Osaka series typically provides a standard width fit, but the removable footbed allows for some adjustment in internal volume.
Does the bamboo material stretch over time?
Bamboo is naturally flexible, but it is not intended to stretch significantly; ensure you select the correct UK 9 sizing for your fit.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, they are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent staining the cream fabric.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the standard lacing system can be replaced with any standard athletic lace if you prefer a different color or length.
How often should I clean the exterior?
Given the cream color, a quick wipe-down after use is recommended to prevent dirt from setting into the fabric weave.
Troubleshooting
Footbed slipping during movement
Ensure the footbed is fully seated into the heel cup and check for debris beneath it.
Difficulty cleaning light surface stains
Use a specialized bamboo or textile cleaning foam and dab lightly instead of rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To optimize your experience, begin by ensuring the interior is free of debris. If you use custom orthotics, gently lift the factory footbed from the heel area to remove it, then insert your personalized version, ensuring it sits flush against the shoe floor. For cleaning, avoid abrasive brushes. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics to spot-clean the bamboo upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
