    Cleaning and care<\/h1>\n\n\n

    Your Sambas are made of natural fibres: cork, linen, hemp, cotton and olive-based vegan leather. They are cleaned by hand, with very little soap and no rush. Here is how.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    First things first, because it is what you ask us most<\/p>\n\n\n

    Can I put them in the washing machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n

    No.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    \n

    A washing machine ruins natural fibres, warps the shape and loosens the glue. No washing machine, no tumble dryer, no radiator.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The laces are the exception: take them out and machine wash them if they need it. The shoe itself, by hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
