FAQs

What is the primary material of the Samba Jane shoes?

The upper is made from a combination of leather and suede, with a satin lining and a synthetic sole with a gum rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

No, the Samba Jane is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for intense athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid water. For tougher stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

What does 'Mary-Jane aesthetic' mean in this context?

It refers to the addition of a midfoot strap across the shoe, a design element inspired by traditional Mary Jane shoes, combined with the classic Samba silhouette.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet weather, as the leather and especially the suede materials are not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the advantage of the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole provides good grip and durability for everyday wear, and it is a classic design element often associated with retro athletic footwear.

How does the sizing run?

These shoes are available in UK Women's sizes. It is advisable to check the brand's sizing chart and try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.

Leather creases or scuffs

Minor creases are normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or polish that matches the 'Off White' color. Professional repair may be needed for deep scratches.

Strap feels too tight or loose

Adjust the strap to the most comfortable setting. If the length is fundamentally an issue, consider the fit of the shoe overall, as strap adjustability is limited.

Gum sole discoloration

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
