FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather with suede overlays.

Are these shoes suitable for playing football?

While the Samba has roots in football, the OG model is designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear, not for playing organized sports.

How do I clean the tartan graphic details?

The tartan details are part of the shoe's design and can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing on these areas.

What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?

This refers to the method used to bond the sole to the upper, which is done without extensive heat, influencing the shoe's structure and flexibility.

What is the fit like?

The Samba OG Shoes feature a regular fit and lace closure, designed to be comfortable for most foot shapes.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray if needed.

How should I store my Samba OG Shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, they may not be the correct size.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner according to product instructions.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede cleaner and allow to dry naturally before brushing.

Soles becoming slippery

Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of debris. If wear is significant, the grip may be reduced over time.
