While comfortable for walking and daily activities, the Samba XLG is primarily a lifestyle trainer and may not offer the specialized support needed for intense running or sports.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

What does 'XLG' stand for in Samba XLG?

How should I store my Samba XLG trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use, the lifespan can vary, but many users find them durable for several years. Factors like frequency of wear, activity level, and maintenance play a significant role.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try powdering the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or baking soda to absorb moisture, or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a shoe fitter.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions carefully and allow it to absorb fully.
Tread wear on the outsole
This is normal with use. If significant wear affects grip, consider having them professionally resoled if the construction allows, or replace the shoes.
