FAQs
What are the primary materials used in the Samba OG?
The Samba OG features a primary leather upper with suede overlays, textile lining, and a rubber gum outsole. The tartan details are a graphic print.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or running?
While inspired by football heritage, the Samba OG is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended for serious athletic performance like running or specialized sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Samba OG has a regular fit. It is recommended to try them on or consult a size chart. They should feel snug but comfortable, with enough room in the toe box.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are best suited for dry conditions. While the gum sole offers some grip, the leather and suede materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to rain or heavy moisture.
What does 'COLD CEMENT' construction mean?
Cold cement construction refers to the method used to attach the outsole to the upper without heat, often resulting in a more flexible and durable bond for this type of footwear.
How often should I clean my Samba OG shoes?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a light wipe-down after use is recommended. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.
What is the significance of the tartan-inspired graphic details?
The tartan-inspired graphic details are a unique design element added to this specific iteration of the Samba OG, offering a nod to classic patterns and a distinctive archival feel.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the upper. Try adjusting the laces or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the tongue.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Gum sole discoloration
Discoloration can occur with prolonged exposure to sunlight or certain chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and store away from direct light.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Ensure the laces are loosened completely before starting to lace. Lace evenly from bottom to top, pulling each section snug but not overly tight.
