FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Samba generally features a narrow to medium fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width snug initially.
Can I use these for playing football?
While the Samba was originally designed as an indoor football shoe, modern iterations are primarily marketed for lifestyle and casual wear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK size 8.5 is a standard adult fit. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the shoe's construction. Always clean by hand.
Do the laces come in different colors?
The shoes typically arrive with standard laces matching the white base, though you can replace them with third-party laces for a custom look.
Are these unisex?
This specific variant is designed as a men's trainer, though the design is generally considered gender-neutral in style.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during first use
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your feet.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff away minor marks.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba trainers last, apply a water-repellent spray upon purchase to protect the leather from light moisture and dirt. For daily care, wipe the white upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface scuffs. Since these are leather shoes, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the material and adhesives. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the green accents.
