FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Samba LT generally follows standard adidas sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before breaking in.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Clean them by hand with a soft cloth and proper sneaker cleaning products.
Is the Samba LT suitable for high-intensity sports?
While inspired by football boots, the Samba LT is categorized as a lifestyle shoe and is best suited for walking and casual wear.
How do I protect the suede toe?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede can help add a layer of protection against light moisture and dirt.
What is the main difference between this and a standard Samba?
The LT model features specific design updates, most notably the oversized tongue, which provides a more distinct vintage aesthetic compared to the classic Samba silhouette.
Troubleshooting
The oversized tongue folds or feels bulky
Adjust the laces to ensure they are fed through the tongue loop, which helps keep the tongue centered and flat.
Suede toe cap looks dusty or discolored
Use a soft-bristled suede-specific brush to gently buff the surface in one direction to restore the appearance.
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Samba LT features a combination of leather and suede, maintaining the material integrity is essential. For daily care, wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the cream suede toe cap gathers dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris without damaging the nap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can cause the leather to stiffen and the suede to lose its texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
