Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for orthotics?
The Osaka series features a comfortable, specialized insole. If you require custom orthotics, check if the existing insole is removable to accommodate your inserts.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather upper and damage the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only manual cleaning methods.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
Bamboo lining is exceptionally breathable, moisture-wicking, and possesses natural antibacterial properties, making it ideal for keeping feet dry and comfortable.
Do the Osaka trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence fit. It is recommended to choose your typical size.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper provides some natural resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses shine
Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish suitable for the specific colour to restore luster.
Trainers feel slightly stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather and insoles to gradually mold to your foot shape.

Care Instructions:
