It is standard untreated suede, which is prone to water damage and staining, so we recommend applying a suede protector before wearing in wet conditions.","q":"Is the suede upper treated with any water-resistant coating?"},{"a":"The gum rubber outsole offers decent grip on dry surfaces, but on wet floors or in light rain, traction can be compromised as gum rubber becomes less grippy when wet. It's not designed as a waterproof or high-traction wet-weather sole, so take care on slick surfaces.","q":"How does the gum rubber outsole handle wet floors or light rain?"},{"a":"The typical break-in period is about 3–7 wears.

However, the Samba OG has a slim profile and narrow toe box, so thicker orthotics may cause the fit to become too tight; thinner orthotics or insoles are recommended for a comfortable fit.","q":"Can the removable footbed accommodate aftermarket orthotics without affecting fit or comfort?"},{"a":"They have a break-in period and basic cushioning, but many find them comfortable for daily wear once broken in.
