FAQs
Are the Samba OG trainers suitable for sports?
The Samba OG are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good grip, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher grime, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a leather conditioner to maintain the material.
What is the difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?
The 'OG' designation typically refers to original or classic designs, often featuring specific material combinations and detailing that are faithful to the initial releases of the Samba silhouette.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in water penetration and potential damage to the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the typical fit of the Samba OG?
The Samba OG generally offers a relatively narrow fit, common for classic football-inspired trainers. Many users find them true to size, but if you have a wider foot, you might consider trying them on or looking into alternative lacing methods.
How should I care for the gum sole?
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective but should be used with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try lacing them in a different pattern, or wear them with thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For more significant discoloration, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner according to product instructions.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be due to friction within the shoe. Ensure laces are properly tied. If the squeak comes from the sole, check for trapped debris or consider a talcum powder application under the insole if removable.
Gum sole getting dirty
Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution or a magic eraser can be used carefully. Ensure the sole is dry after cleaning.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and rub gently into the leather.
- Suede Accents (if applicable): If your pair features suede elements (as seen in some colorways), use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. Avoid water on suede areas.
- Soles: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For scuff marks, a magic eraser can be effective but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
