FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba LT is designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear. It lacks the specialized cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Samba LT generally fits true to size. If you have a wider foot, you may find the streamlined, narrow fit of the Samba silhouette requires going up a half size.
What is the purpose of the oversized lace cover?
It serves primarily as a stylistic, aesthetic feature inspired by heritage football boots, while also helping to keep the laces neatly tucked away.
Can I replace the insole?
While the factory insole is designed for the shoe, it is usually removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray to provide a water-resistant barrier against light rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping eyelets at the pressure point, or ensure the oversized lace cover is not bunched up underneath the knot.
Suede inserts look dusty or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material.
Creasing on the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba LT trainers maintain their condition, keep them away from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry place. Because the trainers come with an extra set of laces, you can easily swap them out if one pair begins to fray or to change the aesthetic. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the suede panels and a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the leather and adhesive components of the sole. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
