FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG is designed with a regular fit. Most users find that their standard size works perfectly.
Can these be used for heavy sports or running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. The flat sole and construction are not designed for the impact absorption required for running or high-intensity sports.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather offers some resistance to water, these are not waterproof shoes. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water staining.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp microfiber cloth after each wear to prevent dirt from settling into the leather grain.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Always clean by hand using recommended methods.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape.
Difficulty cleaning the suede toe
Avoid water. Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to lift surface dirt.
Feeling 'flat' or lack of support
Consider replacing the standard synthetic insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert designed for increased arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt from the toe area. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet to prevent discoloration.
- Lace Care: If the laces become frayed or dirty, soak them in warm soapy water and hang them to dry.
- Fit Tips: These shoes feature a regular fit. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, ensure you account for the snug nature of the leather upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the trainer over time.
