FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football?
These trainers are inspired by original indoor football shoes and offer good grip, but they are not designed for modern, high-performance football. They are best suited for casual wear and light recreational activities.
How do I clean the brown leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for brown leather and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Will these trainers fit true to size?
The Samba OG is generally considered to fit true to size for most people. However, individual fit can vary, and it's recommended to try them on if possible or consult the brand's sizing chart.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to wear more protective footwear. Consider applying a leather protector spray for added water resistance.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a reinforced rubber gum, which provides excellent grip and durability.
How should I care for the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that might discolor or damage the rubber.
What is the history behind the Samba trainers?
The Samba was originally launched in the 1950s for indoor football. It has since evolved into an iconic lifestyle sneaker, celebrated for its timeless design and heritage.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
Gum sole is dirty and losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Leather shows scuff marks
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or cream designed for brown leather may help.
Odour inside the trainer
Remove the insoles (if possible) and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the trainers overnight.
