FAQs
What is High Soft technology?
High Soft is an ARA-specific construction that pairs ultra-soft upper materials with a flexible, cushioned outsole to provide a cloud-like walking sensation.
Are these shoes suitable for orthotic insoles?
Yes, the ARA Osaka trainers feature a removable footbed, making them fully compatible with most custom or store-bought orthotic inserts.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Please stick to gentle surface cleaning with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the materials.
How do I maintain the beige color?
Regularly brush off dry dirt with a soft brush and use a specialized fabric protector spray suitable for textiles to help repel stains and moisture.
Is the size UK 2.5 standard for all ARA shoes?
Sizing can vary slightly by model and series. Always check the specific size chart for the Osaka series to ensure an accurate fit.
Is bamboo a durable material for trainers?
Yes, bamboo fibers are known for their high tensile strength, breathability, and natural moisture-wicking properties, making them excellent for daily footwear.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight after adding custom orthotics.
Ensure the original ARA footbed has been completely removed before placing your custom insert inside.
The bamboo upper has surface stains.
Gently clean with a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals.
The footbed starts to smell after heavy use.
Remove the footbed, wash it separately, and ensure it is 100% dry before replacing it in the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARA Osaka trainers remain in top condition, follow these recommendations. For initial setup, allow the shoes to adjust to your foot's shape by wearing them for short periods initially. If using orthotics, remove the existing ARA factory footbed completely before inserting your own. Regarding care, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dust from the bamboo material. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could warp the materials. For the removable footbed, consider hand-washing it occasionally with mild soap and air-drying it thoroughly before reinserting it into the shoe to keep the interior fresh.
