FAQs
How do the Samba XLG differ from the classic Samba?
The Samba XLG features an oversized silhouette, a full-length EVA drop-in for enhanced cushioning, and an elevated gum sole, offering more comfort and a bolder look compared to the original Samba's slimmer profile.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?

What is the best way to clean the white leather and suede?
For leather, use a damp cloth and leather cleaner/conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush and protector. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

What is the material of the midsole?
The midsole features a full-length EVA drop-in, which is a foam material known for its lightweight cushioning properties.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure laces are tied appropriately and try wearing thicker socks. If the noise persists, it might be a material settling issue.
Discoloration on white leather
Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive dirt or abrasive surfaces.
Gum sole becoming sticky or dirty
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, a soft brush or a slightly damp magic eraser can be used carefully. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
