FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Samba OG typically fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up by half a size.
Can I use these for playing football?
While the Samba was originally designed for indoor football, this modern lifestyle version is best suited for casual wear rather than competitive pitch use.
What is the best way to clean the gold metallic accents?
Gently wipe the gold areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which could scratch the metallic finish.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Samba OG is designed to be a unisex style suitable for all adults.
Should I apply a protective spray?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with leather can help keep the white upper cleaner for longer.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle leather cleaner with a microfiber cloth.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are evenly threaded through the eyelets.
Tight fit across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' style to reduce pressure across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your pair, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; the leather material may soften slightly with wear. To maintain the pristine white appearance, use a soft, damp cloth or specialized sneaker cleaner for surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as excessive heat and water saturation can damage the adhesive and leather integrity. If the shoes get wet, air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping.
