FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but due to the narrow, low-profile design, some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by vintage designs and lack the necessary cushioning and support for long-distance running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for smooth leather.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
While durable, the leather is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain and treat the leather with a protective spray if you live in a damp climate.
What does the 'OG' in the name stand for?
OG stands for 'Original,' indicating that the design remains faithful to the classic 1950s look and construction of the original Samba model.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels too stiff upon first use.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thicker socks to help the material soften and mold to your foot shape.
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure a double knot is used, or replace the laces with a slightly longer or textured set if the factory laces are too slippery.
Surface dirt accumulation on the rubber sole.
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to scrub the textured tread, then wipe dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your Samba OGs, ensure you have the correct UK sizing, as the slim profile can feel tighter than modern foam-based running shoes. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and moisture can damage the leather and the adhesives. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent scuffing.
