FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While the Samba OG has athletic roots, the "Yellow Core Black" model with its patent leather is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. The rubber outsole offers good traction for walking, but they are not recommended for intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the black rubber outsole?
Use a brush with a mixture of water and mild soap to scrub away dirt and grime. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the best way to maintain the patent leather finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Avoid abrasive cleaners and direct sunlight. Store properly to prevent creasing and damage.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Samba OG typically runs true to size for most individuals. However, it is always recommended to consult size charts and consider personal fit preferences.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the patent leather upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It is best to wear these in dry weather to preserve their appearance.
What does "OG" stand for in Samba OG?
"OG" stands for Original. It indicates that this model is a faithful reproduction or reissue of the original Samba design from its inception.
What is the material of the lining?
The lining is a combination of synthetic and textile materials for comfort and durability.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on patent leather
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly can sometimes help restore shine.
Discoloration of yellow patent leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Store in a dark place when not in use. Wipe clean immediately if exposed to colored materials that could transfer.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin sock liner or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
