FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Samba OG is a classic lifestyle trainer and does not feature the technical cushioning required for running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the water and agitation can damage the leather and suede materials.
How do I ensure the fit is correct?
The Samba OG fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may want to consider sizing up by a half-size for extra comfort.
Does the suede require special care?
Yes, suede is water-sensitive. Keep them dry and use a suede-specific brush to keep the nap looking fresh.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
Due to the leather and suede materials, they are best suited for dry or mild weather conditions to prevent water damage.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede sections
Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to lift surface debris without damaging the fibers.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces becoming dull or stained
Remove the laces and soak them in a mild detergent solution, then air dry completely before re-lacing.
