FAQs

Are the Samba OG shoes suitable for playing football?

While the Samba has roots in football, the OG model is primarily designed for casual wear. The gum sole offers some grip, but it's not intended for competitive play on modern pitches.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.

What is the 'COLD CEMENT' construction?

This refers to the method of attaching the sole to the upper. Cold cement construction is a durable method used for many casual sneakers.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, the Samba OG runs true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly, so trying them on or checking reviews for specific feedback is recommended.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. The leather can stain or be damaged by excessive moisture. Consider a waterproofing spray for added protection.

What do the Tartan-inspired graphics refer to?

These are subtle design elements that add a unique aesthetic twist to the classic Samba silhouette, drawing inspiration from traditional Tartan patterns.

What is the difference between 'Low Shoes' and 'Trainers' in the Samba OG series?

Both typically refer to the same low-top silhouette. 'Trainers' is a more general term for athletic-inspired footwear, while 'Low Shoes' specifically denotes the cut.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Gum sole getting dirty/scuffed

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. A magic eraser can be used gently for stubborn marks, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The leather will mold to your foot over time. Consider wearing thicker socks initially or using insoles for added comfort.

Tartan details fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently as per leather care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Suede Overlays: If applicable, use a suede brush to maintain the nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
  3. Sole Care: Wipe the rubber gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray, especially if the shoes will be exposed to moisture or dirt regularly.
