FAQs
What is the main difference between the Samba XLG and the original Samba?

Is the carbon grey colorway suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the versatile monochrome grey design is suitable for year-round wear and pairs well with various outfits.
How do I maintain the hairy suede upper?
Regularly brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Consider a suede protector spray.
What is the material of the midsole?
The midsole features a full-length EVA drop-in for soft cushioning and support.

Does the shoe have good arch support?

Uneven lacing
Loosen all laces, then re-lace evenly, ensuring consistent tension at each eyelet.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove any surface dirt. Apply a suede protector for renewed vibrancy.
