FAQs
Can I wash the ARA Osaka sneakers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather and the internal structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
The Osaka series offers a standard fit, but the removable footbed provides extra room if you need to swap it for a thinner or more specific insole.
What is the benefit of the Bamboo lining?
Bamboo lining is known for its excellent moisture-wicking properties and natural breathability, which helps maintain a dry and odor-free environment for your feet.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to an extent but is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to enhance resistance against light rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are specifically designed to be removable, making them compatible with custom orthopedic inserts.
How do I maintain the cream color?
Keep them clean by wiping them after each use and use a color-matching leather cream periodically to refresh the finish.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels too tight after adding an orthotic
Ensure the original removable footbed has been completely taken out before inserting your custom orthotic.
Leather surface shows minor scuffs
Gently rub the area with a leather conditioning cream or a specialized cream-colored shoe polish.
Shoes are damp inside
Remove the insoles to speed up the drying process and fill the shoes with crumpled paper towels to absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ARA Osaka Sneakers, begin by applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use. If you require custom orthotics, simply lift the removable footbed at the heel and pull it gently from the shoe. For daily cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape.
