FAQs

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

The Samba OG is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style in everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution or a magic eraser can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the sizing true to size?

Sizing is generally considered true to size, but individual fit can vary. Refer to size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material and could affect the leather's condition.

What is the main difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?

The 'OG' designation typically signifies a more authentic reissue of the original design, often using materials and details closer to the first release.

How should I store my Samba OGs?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees inserted to maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight on first wear.

Leather will stretch and conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from debris. The texture of the gum sole can perform differently on polished or wet surfaces.

Leather shows creases or wrinkles.

Creasing is natural with leather. Using shoe trees can help minimize excessive wrinkling when not in use.

Blue stripes are fading or dirty.

Use a specialized cleaner for fabric or synthetic materials on the stripes. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water.
  2. Lace Care: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can typically be hand-washed or machine-washed in a delicate bag.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be used gently.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
