Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Samba OG GS shoes.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use.
- For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
- Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Gum Outsole:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap with water to scrub off dirt and debris.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Odor Control: Remove the OrthoLite sockliners periodically to air them out. You can gently hand wash them with mild soap and water if needed, ensuring they are fully dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
