FAQs
Are the Samba OG Shoes suitable for sports?
The Samba OG Shoes are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and casual activities. While they offer good grip and support for light activities like skateboarding, they are not engineered for high-impact sports.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush or eraser for the suede. Specialized leather and suede cleaners are recommended for stubborn stains. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?
This refers to the method used to attach the sole to the upper. Cold cement construction typically uses adhesives applied at room temperature, offering flexibility and durability to the shoe.
Do these shoes come in different colors?
The Samba OG model has been released in various colorways over the years. This guide focuses on the White variant, but other colors may be available depending on the season and retailer.
How do I find the right size?
The Samba OG generally fits true to size for most people. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or checking reviews for fit feedback. A regular fit and lace closure allow for some adjustment.
What is the significance of the tartan-inspired details?
The tartan-inspired graphic details are a unique design element that adds a distinctive visual flair to the classic Samba OG silhouette, offering a nod to heritage patterns.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole or moisture. Try removing the insole and ensuring it's dry, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is normal with leather. To minimize it, ensure a proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
Rubber outsole losing grip
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If the rubber has become very smooth over time, grip may naturally decrease. Clean regularly.
