FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives; always clean by hand.

Are these suitable for running?

These are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I protect the leather?

Using a water-repellent leather spray can help protect the surface from light rain and stains.

Are the insoles removable?

Most models feature standard factory insoles; check the specific pair as some are bonded to the footbed.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Natural creasing occurs with leather; using a shoe tree when stored will help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Stiff leather feel

Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period; wearing them for short durations indoors initially will allow the material to soften to your foot shape.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for debris or buildup; clean the rubber sole with a brush and warm soapy water to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, iconic aesthetic
  • High-quality leather upper
  • Comfortable padded collar for daily use
  • Reliable traction from the rubber outsole
  • Versatile design suitable for various casual settings

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity sports
  • Leather requires specific cleaning care
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Samba OGs last, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water. Since the leather can be sensitive to extreme moisture, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the shape of the shoe, use cedar shoe trees or paper inserts when not in use. Always lace the shoes snugly to ensure the padded collar provides maximum support.
