FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

Yes, the reinforced construction and good grip make them a solid choice for beginners looking for a durable skate shoe.

How do I break in the leather on these Samba ADV trainers?

Wear them around the house for short periods, gradually increasing the duration. Gently flexing the shoe can also help speed up the process.

What makes the Samba ADV different from the original Samba?

The Samba ADV features enhanced durability and skate-specific elements like a reinforced T-toe and a rubber cupsole, designed to withstand skateboarding.

Can I put these in a washing machine?

No, do not machine wash these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for leather and suede.

What does 'Brown Gum' refer to in the product name?

'Brown Gum' refers to the main color of the leather upper (Brown) and the color of the rubber outsole (Gum).

Is this a unisex model?

While listed with a Male gender attribute, the Samba ADV silhouette is generally considered unisex, and this collaboration is often worn by individuals of all genders.

What is the main advantage of the rubber cupsole?

The rubber cupsole offers superior durability, board feel, and grip, which are essential for skateboarding performance.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying quickly

Consider replacing with stronger, waxed skate laces. Ensure the extended lacing system is not rubbing excessively against the board.

Squeaking noise during movement

This can sometimes occur with new leather or rubber components. It often resolves with wear. Ensure no debris is trapped between the sole and upper.

Discoloration of suede T-toe

Clean gently with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and protect with a suede protector spray after cleaning.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

The rubber cupsole provides good grip, but like most skate shoes, performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution.
