FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Arla trainers generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to consult the size guide for your specific UK size.

How sustainable is the leather used?

100% of the leather used in this product comes from tanneries with Gold or Silver certification from the Leather Working Group, ensuring high environmental performance.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the metallic logo charm. Always clean by hand using recommended leather care products.

Are these suitable for athletic exercise?

While the Arla trainers are designed for movement and daily wear, they are intended as lifestyle fashion footwear rather than performance-grade athletic equipment.

How do I protect the white leather from stains?

Consider applying a high-quality leather protectant spray suitable for white sneakers to create a barrier against water and minor spills.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuff marks

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently buff out the scuffs.

Laces becoming frayed or dirty

Remove the laces and soak them in warm water with mild soap, then air dry. If damaged, replace with standard white flat laces.

Outsole collecting debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt from the grooves of the chunky rubber sole to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are made from premium leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.

  1. Setup: Adjust the laces for a comfortable, snug fit before the first wear.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt immediately after exposure to elements. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific conditioner or cleaner to prevent the material from drying out.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white leather. Use shoe trees to help the trainers maintain their shape between wears.
  4. Compatibility: The neutral white tone ensures these trainers are highly compatible with most color palettes, ranging from pastels to bold monochromatic looks.
