FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of suede, with leather detailing on the heel tab and 3-Stripes.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
The Samba OG is designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. While it offers good stability and responsiveness, it is not specifically designed as a running shoe and may lack the cushioning and support required for intense running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is wiped dry afterward.
What is the main advantage of the low-profile design?
The low-profile design enhances stability, agility, and responsiveness, contributing to better performance in various activities.
How does the insole contribute to comfort?
The cushy insole provides support for the foot, making the shoe comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as the material can be easily damaged and stained. The gum sole offers some traction, but the suede upper is not water-resistant.
What is the recommended way to store these shoes?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, to maintain the condition of the suede and leather components.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth and follow product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Gum sole is losing grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure it is fully dry before use.
Shoe feels too tight
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for potential stretching options.
Leather details are scuffed
Gently clean the area with a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner might help restore the finish. Deeper scuffs may require professional attention.
