FAQs
What is the primary material of the Samba OG Shoes?
The primary material for the upper is leather, complemented by suede overlays and textile elements. The outsole is made of rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While the Samba has roots in football, the OG model is best suited for casual wear. It is not designed with the specific features required for competitive football performance.
How do I clean the tartan-inspired graphic details?
These graphic details are integrated into the shoe's design. Clean them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the print.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?
It refers to a shoemaking method where the sole is attached to the upper using adhesives at a lower temperature, resulting in a more flexible and often lighter shoe compared to other construction methods.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper can offer some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to dry them thoroughly if they get damp.
What is the fit like on the Samba OG?
They have a regular fit and a lace closure, allowing for adjustment. However, due to their classic design, some users find they run slightly narrow. Trying them on or consulting sizing guides is recommended.
How should I store my Samba OG Shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a shoe bag can protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The 'COLD CEMENT' construction may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Leather upper shows scuffs or marks.
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For suede areas, use a suede brush or eraser.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure the laces are of good quality. If they are slippery, consider replacing them with a different material or tying them with a double knot.
Soles lose grip on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure soles are clean and free from debris. Exercise caution on slippery conditions.
