Care & Maintenance
Proper care will preserve the unique look and longevity of your Samba OG Animal Print shoes, especially due to the pony hair and leather materials.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft brush (like a shoe brush or an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose dirt or dust in the direction of the hair.
- Spot Cleaning: For stains, lightly dampen a clean, soft cloth with water (and a very mild soap solution if necessary) and gently dab the affected area. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the hair.
- Drying: Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers, which can cause damage.
- Wiping: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- General Care:
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the shoe.
- Water Exposure: While the rubber outsole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to protect the pony hair and leather.
