FAQs
What is the main difference between the Samba XLG and the original Samba?
The Samba XLG features extra-large detailing, particularly on the tongue and outsole, giving it a bolder, more contemporary look compared to the classic, slimmer profile of the original Samba.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Samba XLG is primarily designed as a lifestyle and streetwear shoe. While they offer decent grip for casual activities, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from leather, with additional beige suede overlays on the toebox and midfoot area.
What does 'XLG' stand for?
'XLG' in Samba XLG refers to the extra-large detailing applied to key components of the shoe, such as the tongue and sole.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. The suede elements are particularly sensitive to water. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, providing traditional grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size or if insoles are needed.
Leather scuffs or scratches appear
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a leather repair specialist or use a leather conditioner designed for color restoration.
Gum sole becomes discolored
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the rubber.
