FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Samba OG generally follows standard UK sizing; however, because of the slim profile, those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole, significantly reducing the lifespan of the shoe.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather has natural water resistance, it is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray to guard against light rain.
Are these suitable for heavy exercise?
These are lifestyle shoes meant for casual wear. They lack the specialized cushioning and support required for heavy athletic performance.
How do I maintain the green stripes?
Keep the green stripes looking fresh by gently wiping them with a slightly damp cloth to prevent color fading from dust buildup.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and absorb residual moisture.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser for small marks; avoid abrasive scrubbing brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the finish. Instead, wipe the surface regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. For best compatibility, wear these with mid-weight socks to maintain the intended fit of the slim silhouette.
