FAQs

What is the primary difference between the Samba Jane and the original Samba?

The main difference is the Samba Jane's Mary-Jane aesthetic, featuring a midfoot strap closure instead of traditional laces, and a satin lining for a more luxurious feel.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The midfoot strap offers some adjustability, but the fixed nature of the design might be less accommodating for very wide feet compared to lace-up models. We recommend trying them on if possible.

How do I clean the 'Collegiate Green' 3-Stripes?

Gently wipe the stripes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent discoloration or damage to the material.

What type of socks are best to wear with the Samba Jane?

Thin, seamless socks are recommended to maximize comfort with the satin lining. No-show socks can also maintain the aesthetic.

Can the Samba Jane be worn for athletic activities?

No, the Samba Jane is designed as a fashion shoe and is not intended for rigorous athletic activities. The gum sole provides traction for walking, but not for sports-specific movements.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of gum rubber, which provides good grip and a classic look.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the midfoot strap to find a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the hook-and-loop or buckle mechanism is properly fastened.

Leather or suede shows scuffs or marks

For suede, use a suede eraser or brush to lift marks. For leather, use a leather cleaner or conditioner appropriate for the color. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Satin lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure your socks are thin and seamless if worn. If the discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if the lining requires breaking in.

Gum sole appears dirty

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the shoe.
