FAQs
Can I put these sneakers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather footwear as this can damage the material and structure of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Osaka series is designed with a standard fit, but the removable footbed provides extra room if you need to use thinner inserts.
How often should I treat the leather?
Treating the leather with a protective spray every few months, or more frequently if worn in adverse weather, will help keep the shoes looking new.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The Osaka series features a synthetic outsole designed for good traction on common urban surfaces, though caution should be used on wet or icy pavement.
Can I replace the footbed with my own insoles?
Yes, the footbed is fully removable, making these sneakers highly compatible with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels damp after long wear
Remove the bamboo footbed at the end of the day to allow it to air out completely in a dry area.

Gently buff the area with a soft cloth and a small amount of neutral leather conditioner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARA Osaka Sneakers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your size UK 5 fit. If using custom orthotics, remove the factory bamboo footbed first.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or protector spray suitable for light-colored footwear to prevent staining and maintain suppleness.
- Cleaning: The footbed can be removed for airing or gentle hand-washing with mild soap. Wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove surface dust.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration or drying out.
