FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The Samba silhouette generally fits true to size, though the premium leather may feel slightly stiff initially and will soften with wear.
Can I wear these for sports?
While the Samba is historically an indoor soccer shoe, this collaborative version is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent potential fading of the leather dyes.
Are these unisex?
Many models in the Wales Bonner collection are unisex, though sizing is typically provided in specific regional standards like UK sizes.
What should I do if the leather gets wet?
Pat the leather dry with a clean, absorbent cloth and let them air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the toe box
Use wooden shoe trees immediately after taking off the sneakers to help the leather recover its shape.
Scuffs on white leather upper
Gently use a white leather eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, then buff dry with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba sneakers remain in top condition, follow these steps for long-term care:
