FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully.
What is the main difference between this and a traditional leather Samba?
The primary difference is the upper material. This model uses nylon for a lighter feel, while traditional Sambas typically feature full leather uppers.
Do the reflective accents actually work?
Yes, the reflective accents are designed to catch and reflect light, improving your visibility in low-light conditions when illuminated by an external light source.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the nylon, leather, and sole construction.
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
It is generally recommended to try them on if possible. If not, consider your typical fit preference; some find Sambas fit true to size, while others may prefer to size up for a slightly looser fit.
What does 'Focus Olive Gum' refer to?
'Focus Olive' is the specific shade of green used for the main color of the shoe, and 'Gum' refers to the color and material of the rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Nylon upper appears stained or dirty.
Gently clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Test a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Gum sole has scuff marks.
Try using a magic eraser or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a shoe care specialist.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild detergent and air drying.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The nylon and leather combination should gradually conform to your foot shape.
