FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional football?
While inspired by vintage football boots, the Samba LT is designed as a lifestyle shoe and is not intended for competitive pitch use.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Samba LT generally fits true to size, but because of the leather upper, they may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.
How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush, focusing on the leather areas.
Is the tongue meant to be folded down?
The oversized tongue can be worn up or folded down, depending on your preferred personal style.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics or higher-cushion inserts.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after time
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for sneakers to restore the natural luster.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the tongue is centered and not rubbing against the eyelets; applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top leather shoes, they are compatible with most standard sock lengths, though 'no-show' socks often accentuate the silhouette best. To keep the leather in prime condition, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust or mud. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. For the gum sole, a soft-bristled brush can be used to remove debris from the grooves. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discoloring.
