FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, the Arla trainers generally follow standard adult sizing, though individuals between sizes may prefer to consult a size chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual fashion use, not for high-impact athletic performance or long-distance running.

How do I protect the white leather from stains?

Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use can help create a protective barrier against liquids and dirt.

What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?

This indicates that the leather is sourced from tanneries that prioritize environmentally responsible practices such as waste management and water usage.

Can I remove the logo charm?

The logo charm is a decorative signature element intended to stay with the shoe as part of the brand design.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to scrub the rubber areas, then wipe dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather retain its shape.

Scuffs on the white leather

Use a specialized white leather polish or mild magic eraser lightly to buff out surface-level marks.

Laces becoming loose

Double knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly to maintain consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Arla trainers stay in pristine condition, avoid machine washing or drying. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for white footwear. Ensure laces are loosened before putting the shoes on to avoid damaging the heel counter. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration or drying. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
