Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba XLG shoes:
Cleaning the Leather/Suede Upper: Gently wipe dirt from the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For the suede T-bar overlay, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For suede stains, a suede eraser or cleaner can be applied carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Sole Care: Clean the rubber gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary to remove grime and maintain its appearance.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage the leather and suede. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Protection: Consider applying a leather and suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially on the suede elements, before first wear and periodically thereafter.
