FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to your standard adult sneaker size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, you may consider going up half a size.
Can I use these for sports?
While originally designed as indoor trainers, the Samba OG is currently best suited for lifestyle, casual walking, and everyday wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the shoe.
Are they waterproof?
No, the leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against light rain.
Does the leather stretch?
Leather naturally softens and molds to the shape of your foot with consistent wear, which often results in a more comfortable, customized fit over time.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard sockliner can be removed, allowing you to insert your own orthotic insoles if additional arch support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.
Sole losing traction due to debris
Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to gently scrub the grooves of the rubber outsole.
Tight fit around the instep
Relace the shoes using the 'parallel' or 'window' lacing technique to reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit with the Samba OG is straightforward due to the standard lace-up system. For best results, adjust the laces from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure even tension across the bridge of your foot. Regarding care, treat the leather upper with a leather-safe cleaner and use a soft brush to remove dirt from the rubber outsole after use. Avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives in the sole. For prolonged freshness, remove the insoles after a long day of activity to allow them to air out.
