FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of suede, with leather detailing on the heel tab and 3-Stripes.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the Samba OG offers good stability and responsiveness, it is best suited for casual wear and light training rather than high-impact running due to its low-profile design and cushioning.
How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean.
What makes the low-profile design beneficial?
The low-profile design enhances stability, agility, and responsiveness, providing a closer feel to the ground which is beneficial for quick movements.
How often should I clean the suede upper?
It's recommended to brush the suede after each wear to remove surface dust. Deeper cleaning with a suede cleaner should be done as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt or stains.
What is the primary benefit of the cushy insole?
The cushy insole provides comfort and support for the foot, making the shoes comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions and then brush.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The suede and insole will mold to your foot over time.
Gum sole is dirty.
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Discoloration on suede.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can cause suede to fade or discolor. Clean with appropriate suede care products.
