FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
The Samba OG Shoes have heritage roots in football but are now primarily considered casual trainers. They are not designed for the demands of competitive football and lack the specialized features for the sport.
How do I clean the tartan graphic details?
The tartan details are printed and should be treated gently. Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the print.
What is the COLD CEMENT construction?
Cold cement construction is a manufacturing method where the sole is bonded to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures. This process typically results in a flexible and durable shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the shoes are not waterproof. The suede overlays are particularly susceptible to water damage. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I find the right size?
The Samba OG Shoes come in a regular fit. Refer to the size chart for UK sizing and compare it with your usual shoe size. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consider the general fit guidelines provided.
What is the difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?
The Samba OG typically represents a more classic, vintage-inspired iteration of the Samba, often featuring core materials like leather and suede with traditional design elements. Newer models might incorporate updated materials or construction techniques.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them for a short period to allow the leather to stretch. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or balm may help, but test on a hidden spot first.
Outsole feels slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For new shoes, the outsole may be smoother; light wear should improve traction.
