FAQs
Are the Samba OGs true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, some users find sizing up by a half size helps achieve a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid washing machines. Excess water and heat can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the leather is not naturally waterproof. It is best to treat them with a water-repellent spray if you anticipate light rain.
Do these provide enough support for long walks?
While comfortable for casual wear, they are low-profile and lack deep arch support. For long walks, you might consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Are these suitable for indoor soccer?
While the Samba was originally designed as an indoor soccer shoe, modern versions like the OG are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual fashion use.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce deep creases.
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider swapping for a slightly different lacing style or double-knotting for a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are selecting your standard size as the leather construction offers a consistent fit once broken in.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel liquids and prevent staining if you plan to wear them in unpredictable weather.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for small stones or debris lodged in the tread to maintain optimal grip.
