◇About Leather: The leather used by Arushu is high-quality, reliable European leather certified by LWG. Nubuck is made from aniline-finished full-grain leather. Unlike pigment finishes, no processing is done to hide surface scratches, so only leather of extremely high quality without defects is used.

◇About the Outsole: While many companies use synthetic materials, Alshu continues to adopt soles made from natural rubber. The Formula naturel outsole, which is a blend of natural and synthetic rubber, is manufactured by cooperative suppliers closely located in Europe, such as Spain and Portugal, using Alshu's original design.

◇About the Design: Alshu designs everything in-house, from the upper to the outsole. The rounded, supple, and flowing refined lines, along with a design that is modern yet timeless, are fundamentally based on chic casual that blends into everyday lifestyles, strongly influenced by the French "Art de Vivre" (the art of living).

◇Sustainability Initiatives: At the heart of Arshu's design is sustainability. We are committed to eco-design by choosing durable, long-lasting, and repairable materials, aiming to extend the lifespan of our products. The leather and soles produced in Europe are of high quality and comply with the EU regulation REACH, which regulates chemicals for the protection of human health and the environment.

[To wear Arshu shoes more comfortably]
・Alshu shoes use leather dyed with the traditional dyeing technique known as aniline dyeing. While it is supple and has a delicate flavor, it may experience "color fading" due to friction, sweating, water exposure, etc.
• The sole of Lactae Hevea may develop a slight white veil due to changes in temperature. It can be removed by gently wiping with a cloth or sponge soaked in water with a little lemon (or vinegar) added. This is also a sign that it is made of genuine natural material.
