FAQs
Are the Samba OGs true to size?
Generally, the Samba OG fits true to size, but it's always recommended to check the size guide and read reviews, or if possible, try them on before purchasing.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the Samba OG can withstand light rain, the suede material is sensitive to water. Prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Use a protectant spray to increase water resistance.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What kind of socks should I wear?
You can wear any type of socks with the Samba OG, but thicker socks may make them fit more snugly, particularly if you are between sizes.
Are they good for running or sports?
No, the Samba OG is not designed for running or high-impact sports. It is primarily a casual, lifestyle shoe.
What's the best way to protect the suede?
Apply a suede protectant spray before wearing them for the first time and regularly thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains. Also, avoid wearing the shoes in harsh conditions.
