FAQs

What is the main difference between Samba XLG and classic Sambas?

The Samba XLG typically features slight updates to the silhouette or materials for a more contemporary feel, while retaining the core iconic design of the classic Samba.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Samba XLG are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for intense athletic performance. They offer comfort for everyday activities but lack the specialized support and technology for sports.

How do I clean the Putty Grey and Collegiate Green materials?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe down the upper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.

Will the gum sole wear out quickly?

The gum sole is generally durable for everyday wear. However, excessive friction or abrasive surfaces can lead to faster wear, as with most rubber soles.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

Any socks that provide comfort for daily wear are suitable. Given the gum sole's potential for slight color transfer, darker or neutral-colored socks are often recommended, especially when the shoes are new.

What is the release date for this specific colorway?

This specific colorway (Putty Grey/Collegiate Green/Gum) with MPN JI3197 was released on 25/11/2024.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have tried them on with the socks you typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size up or down might be more suitable, based on the break-in period.

Gum sole scuffs easily

Use a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner on a cloth to gently remove scuffs from the gum sole. Regular cleaning after wear will help maintain its appearance.

Color transfer from gum sole to light socks

This is a common characteristic of gum rubber. It is advisable to wear darker socks initially or be aware that some minimal transfer may occur.
