FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Can I use these for running?
The Samba OG is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe; it does not contain the technical cushioning or support needed for running.
Do these come in other sizes?
Yes, the Samba OG series is available in a variety of sizes and colorways to suit different preferences.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber outsoles on most Samba models are designed for indoor use and are generally non-marking, making them suitable for casual wear.
How do I determine the best size?
The shoes generally follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, consider the width of your foot for a more comfortable regular fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Ensure you are using a double knot or an extra loop when tying to increase friction on the flat laces.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Suede toe looks discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. For setup, simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot width before sliding your foot in; tighten them for a secure feel. Regarding compatibility, these unisex trainers fit true to size for most adults. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the suede toe area and a damp cloth to wipe down the leather sections. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather and cause the suede to lose its texture.
