Are these suitable for playing football?
While the Samba OG has roots in football, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities like park kickabouts, not professional or intense play.
How should I clean the suede parts?

Troubleshooting

This is natural with leather. Use a shoe tree to help maintain shape when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separation, a flexible shoe adhesive might work. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement may be needed.

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically for white footwear.
