FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba Deco Spezial is designed for lifestyle and fashion use, not for running or high-impact athletic performance.
Is the fit true to size?
Generally, the Samba series fits true to size, though they have a slim, anatomical fit. If you prefer extra room, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
The factory insoles are designed for the specific fit of the shoe, but they can often be removed to accommodate thin orthotic inserts if necessary.
How do I clean the lucid lime accents?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, dabbing the area gently without soaking the material.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, these are designed as unisex trainers, providing a fit suitable for both men and women.
What is the difference between these and standard Sambas?
The Deco Spezial series features unique stitching and design details that elevate the classic Samba base, focusing on a more artisanal or 'decorated' aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too snug across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system significantly and re-lace with a wider gap between the eyelets to relieve pressure.
Creasing appearing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Soles becoming slippery on smooth surfaces
If the soles collect debris, wipe them with a damp cloth to restore grip, or consider scuffing the bottom lightly if the soles are brand new.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, ensure you have selected your standard UK size, as the Samba series typically features a snug, locked-in feel. For care, avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the materials. Instead, wipe the leather or suede upper with a damp cloth and use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the crevices. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping.
