FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Samba ADV Kader Sylla Brown Gum?
These shoes are specifically designed for skateboarding, offering durability, grip, and board feel. They are also suitable for casual wear.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Gently use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, always test on a small area first.
What does the stitching on the heel represent?
The stitching on the heel in orange, white, and green colors pays homage to the Ivory Coast flag, representing Kader Sylla's family heritage.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Samba ADV typically offers a standard fit. While the leather will adapt over time, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug initially. Consider trying them on if possible.
What is the difference between Samba ADV and regular Samba shoes?
The Samba ADV line is specifically engineered with skateboarding performance in mind, often featuring more durable materials, enhanced cushioning, and a more robust construction compared to the original Samba models.
Does the shoe come in other colors?
Yes, the Samba ADV series is available in various colorways and collaborations. This specific model is the 'Brown Gum' colorway.
What size should I order if I am a US size 9?
For a US Men's size 9, you would typically look for a UK size 8.5. However, it's always best to consult a size chart or try them on, as fit can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather and suede shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Suede areas getting dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material.
Gum sole losing grip over time.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Regularly wipe it with a damp cloth. If the grip significantly degrades, it may indicate wear and tear beyond normal use.
Stitching coming loose.
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If structural stitching is affected, consult a shoe repair professional or contact customer support.
