Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ara trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the smooth leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking.
- Insole Management: If you use orthotics, remove the existing factory insole before inserting your custom pair to ensure adequate volume inside the shoe.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather.
