FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the slim profile may feel snug to those with wider feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth.
Are these good for running?
No, the Samba OG is a lifestyle fashion trainer and does not feature the technical cushioning required for running.
How do I maintain the leather?
Use a standard leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
What is the primary material used?
The Samba OG features a high-quality leather upper paired with a durable rubber outsole.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the standard lace-up closure allows you to easily replace laces with any standard length athletic lace.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for 30-minute intervals around the house to gradually soften the material.
Slipping on polished indoor floors.
Ensure the textured tread is free from debris; sometimes a quick wipe with a damp cloth can restore grip.
Fit feels too tight across the midfoot.
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more room, then adjust upwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and the sole to flex naturally to your gait.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
- Insoles: If you require custom orthotics, the factory insoles are generally removable, providing flexibility for those who need extra arch support.
