Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Samba trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe down the full grain leather surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for natural leather, applying sparingly.
- Caring for Suede Overlays: For the suede toe overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used gently.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather and glue.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to the leather parts and a suede protector spray to the suede overlays before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
