FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find that the Samba OG fits true to size, though the leather upper is structured and may feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
Is the Samba OG suitable for sports?
While originally designed as an indoor soccer shoe, they are currently intended primarily for casual lifestyle wear rather than intensive athletic performance.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from durable leather.
Does the padded collar help with fit?
Yes, the padded collar is designed to provide extra comfort and support around the ankle area.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Samba OG is a unisex design, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels stiff after first wear.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours at a time with medium-weight socks to help the material loosen.
Visible scuffs on the leather surface.
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a white eraser for light scuffs. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and consider a double-knot if you find they loosen during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather upper. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors and dry out the leather over time.
- Weatherproofing: Applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect the material from unexpected rain showers and environmental elements.
