Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba OG trainers, especially given their leather and suede components.
- General Cleaning:
- Leather: Wipe down smooth leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
- Gum Rubber Outsole: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap if they become dirty.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather and suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
