FAQs

Are these true to size?

Yes, the Sambarose generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users recommend sizing up by a half size.

Can I use these for sports?

While inspired by football shoes, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-intensity sports or professional field play.

How do I clean the white stripes?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the side stripes, taking care not to get the leather upper overly saturated.

Is the sole slippery?

The gum rubber sole is designed to provide excellent traction on most dry urban surfaces, though caution should be used on smooth, wet flooring.

Does the platform sole provide arch support?

The platform provides a stable base, but if you have specific orthotic needs, you may want to swap the existing insole for an arch-support insert.

Troubleshooting

Sole feels stiff during first wear

The rubber platform requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to soften.

Scuffs appearing on the matte black leather

Use a black leather conditioning cream or a touch-up pen designed for matte leather to blend minor scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Sambarose trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of premium leather, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild leather cleaner to remove dirt. The gum rubber sole can be cleaned with a specialized rubber cleaner to maintain its original color and grip. Ensure the shoes are kept away from extreme heat sources to prevent the glue and materials from warping. For best results, use a leather protectant spray to repel liquids and prevent staining.
