FAQs
How does the sizing of the Samba XLG compare to the original Samba?
The Samba XLG generally fits true to size, though the internal padding may make it feel slightly more snug than the original, thinner Samba model.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the glue, so we recommend hand cleaning only.
Is the Samba XLG suitable for wide feet?
The XLG silhouette offers a slightly wider and more structured base than the classic Samba, which many users find more accommodating.
Are these sneakers made of leather or synthetic materials?
The Samba XLG typically utilizes a blend of high-quality leather and suede for durability and a premium feel.
Is the sole non-marking?
The gum rubber sole is designed for indoor and outdoor grip and is generally non-marking on typical floor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficult to keep clean
Apply a high-quality sneaker protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against dirt and liquids.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba XLG trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since these trainers feature suede elements, it is essential to use a specialized brush to remove loose dirt and to apply a protective spray to guard against water and stains. If the gum sole accumulates debris, a simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the materials and the bonding of the sole.
