FAQs

Are these suitable for sports?

These sneakers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic performance. The materials, especially the pony hair, are not intended for the stress of sports activities.

How do I clean the pony hair upper?

Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized pony hair cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on a small area first. Avoid soaking the material.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain. The pony hair and leather materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the main difference between this Samba LT and other Samba models?

The primary distinction is the use of a premium pony hair upper, offering a unique texture and luxurious feel, along with the signature fold-over tongue characteristic of the Samba LT series.

What type of socks should I wear with these?

You can wear these with various sock types, from no-show socks for a cleaner look to thicker athletic socks for added comfort. The choice depends on your personal style and the outfit.

How durable is the pony hair material?

Pony hair is a natural material that can be durable if properly cared for. However, it is more susceptible to wear and damage from harsh conditions compared to traditional leather or synthetic materials.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

As the shoes are made from natural materials that may stretch slightly, consider trying both sizes if possible. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness or roominess may influence your decision.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush in the direction of the hair growth. For stubborn dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for pony hair or suede, following product instructions carefully.

Leather accents look dry or cracked

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a soft cloth and gently rub it into the leather parts of the shoe. This will help restore moisture and flexibility.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be removed with a pencil eraser or a magic eraser sponge. For deeper marks, a specialized sole cleaner might be needed.

Shoes feel tight after first wear

Leather and pony hair can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you have selected the correct size prior to purchase.
