FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the linen material is porous and will absorb water. It is best to avoid wearing them in rainy or wet conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
The Samba OG typically fits true to your standard adult UK size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or slightly roomier fit.
Can I put my Samba OGs in the dryer?
No. Heat can damage the rubber sole and cause the linen material to shrink or warp. Always air dry them at room temperature.
Is the linen material durable?
Linen is durable for casual, everyday walking, but it is less abrasion-resistant than leather or synthetic materials.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
While based on a sports heritage, the linen Samba OG is designed primarily for lifestyle and fashion use, not high-intensity athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the linen upper
Use a specialized fabric cleaner and a soft sponge to gently spot-clean the area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original shape.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard flat white cotton laces to maintain the original factory aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a fabric-specific protector spray before your first wear to help repel liquids and dust.
- Cleaning: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine. Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to blot stained areas rather than scrubbing aggressively.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green dye from fading over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, you may consider if your current sizing remains comfortable or if you require an insole adjustment.
