FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first.
Can I put the Samba LT in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the suede material. Stick to hand cleaning with mild products.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the traditional gum rubber sole used on the Samba line is designed to be non-marking for indoor and outdoor use.
Is this shoe good for long-distance running?
No, this is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by vintage football boots and does not contain the advanced cushioning required for running.
How do I maintain the color of the white elements?
Use a specialized leather cleaner for the white panels and a suede-safe eraser for the cream toe cap to maintain brightness.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff out of the box
Wear the shoes for short periods at home to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet over time.
Suede toe cap has picked up dirt
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently lift debris without damaging the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
