Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine look of your leather Samba OG shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the smooth leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Cleaning the Gum Sole: The rubber gum outsole can be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove mud and debris, which helps maintain grip.
- Cleaning the 3-Stripes: For the Cream White serrated 3-Stripes, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution, wiping gently to avoid damaging the surrounding leather.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can dry out and damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any internal moisture.
