Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

This is common with vegan leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. You can also try wearing them around the house with thicker socks.

Scuff marks on the gum sole.

Gently rub scuff marks with a clean pencil eraser or a non-abrasive magic eraser. Test on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn't affect the sole's color.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt.

Use a soft-bristled brush with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure to remove all soap residue.

Color transfer from socks or other materials.

While rare, ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected area of the trainer immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult specific vegan shoe cleaning guides.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba Vegan trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on the vegan leather, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Lining: The inner lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  3. Soles: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water to remove mud or debris. For the gum sole, a magic eraser can be effective for scuffs, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
