FAQs
Are the insoles machine washable?
No, the removable footbeds should be cleaned by hand with a gentle detergent and allowed to air dry completely.
Can I wear these with custom orthotics?
Yes, the removable nature of the ARA High Soft footbed makes these sneakers highly compatible with most custom orthotic inserts.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray to repel light moisture.
How do I find my size for the ARA Osaka?
These sneakers are sized in standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your current comfortable walking shoes for comparison.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
The bamboo lining is excellent for moisture management, absorbing perspiration to keep the interior of the shoe dry and fresh.
Can I replace the laces with different colors?
Yes, the eyelets are standard sized, allowing you to easily swap the provided laces for personal styling.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels loose or shifts while walking
Ensure the footbed is correctly aligned with the heel cup and that the adhesive backing (if present) is properly seated.
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish specifically formulated for blue leather to restore its shine and color depth.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet often swell during the day; try loosening the laces slightly to accommodate the natural change in foot volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ARA sneakers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean the leather upper, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt, followed by a dedicated leather conditioner. The removable bamboo footbed can be taken out and aired out periodically to maintain freshness. Ensure you are ordering the correct UK size, as the leather will mold slightly to your foot over time. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the natural leather and structural integrity of the interior lining.
