FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Samba OG fits true to size for most users, though those with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use and walking, not for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not put them in the washing machine.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining the leather.
Does the Samba OG provide good arch support?
The support is minimal due to the low-profile design. For those requiring significant arch support, adding a thin aftermarket insole is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Slight discomfort during break-in period
Wear them for short periods around the house with thicker socks to gradually soften the leather.
Dirty rubber outsole
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the rubber edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, keeping in mind that leather materials may soften slightly over time. To maintain your Samba OGs, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish and adhesive. If the leather begins to look dull, use a matching leather conditioner or cream to restore its shine and suppleness. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
