FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?

While the Samba line originated as indoor football trainers, this specific 'OG Animal Print' version is designed for fashion and casual wear. It is not recommended for athletic activities.

How do I clean the cheetah print pony hair without damaging it?

Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Gently brush the hair with a soft brush to remove loose dirt, and spot clean small marks with a very slightly damp, soft cloth, dabbing gently.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper features a full cheetah-print pony hair design with genuine leather details.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

These shoes are not specifically designed to be water-resistant, especially due to the pony hair material. It's best to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the materials.

What kind of fit can I expect?

These shoes have a regular fit, designed for comfort in everyday wear. You should select your standard UK shoe size.

Can I use regular shoe polish on these?

No, do not use regular shoe polish on the pony hair or printed areas. Only use specific leather care products for the leather details, if needed, and always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears dull or matted

Gently brush the pony hair in one direction with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to restore its texture and sheen.

Scuff marks on leather details

Apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner to a soft cloth and gently rub the affected area. Follow with a clean, dry cloth.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Wear the shoes for short periods over several days to allow the materials to break in and conform to the shape of your feet.

Care Instructions

General Care:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the pony hair, gently wipe with a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively.
  • Leather Details: Use a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner for any leather components. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Specialized Pony Hair Care:

  • Gentle Brushing: To maintain the texture and prevent matting of the pony hair, gently brush in the direction of the hair with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a soft toothbrush).
  • Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the pony hair and leather.
  • Protect from Moisture: While minor splashes are fine, avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for pony hair or delicate materials if you anticipate light moisture exposure. Always test sprays on an inconspicuous area first.
