FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Samba OG has a relatively slim profile; individuals with wider feet may find it helpful to try a half-size larger than their standard measurement.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is naturally porous and not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray for protection against light moisture.
What is the sizing like?
These trainers generally fit true to size, but the narrow build of the retro silhouette means some users prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Does the gum sole leave marks on indoor floors?
The gum rubber used on the Samba OG is typically non-marking, making them safe for indoor use on most flooring types.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a gum eraser to gently lift the nap and remove surface marks.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Consider double-knotting or replacing with higher-friction cotton laces for a more secure hold.
Material dulling
Revive the texture of the suede by steaming it lightly from a distance and using a soft brush to restore the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few wears. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser.
- Moisture Control: Keep shoes away from heavy rain; if they get wet, stuff them with paper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the black suede from fading over time.
