FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

How do I clean the suede material?

For general cleaning, use a dry suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. It's best to avoid getting the suede wet.

What is the best way to maintain the color of the suede?

To preserve the color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Using a suede protector spray can also help prevent fading and protect against water and stains.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The Samba OG typically offers a standard fit. It's recommended to consult the size chart and consider your usual shoe size. Some users find they fit snugly, and the suede will offer some stretch over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently brush the surface and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or cleaner.

Laces are difficult to adjust

Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.

Soles feel slippery

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before use.

Shoes feel tight after first wear

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
