FAQs
What makes the Samba LT different from the original Samba?
The primary difference is the oversized, soccer boot-like tongue on the Samba LT, which offers a more contemporary and distinctive look compared to the original's sleeker design.
Are these trainers suitable for playing soccer?
No, the Samba LT is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer. It does not offer the specialized support or traction required for playing soccer.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, featuring a characteristic leather nubuck toe cap.
How do I clean the Preloved Yellow/Green colorway?
Clean the leather parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the nubuck toe, use a suede brush or specialized nubuck cleaner. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the typical fit of the Samba LT?
The Samba LT generally offers a slim, classic fit, typical of the Samba line. They are designed for adult foot sizes.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for comfort and hygiene.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a slim, lightweight rubber outsole, providing a classic look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration on leather
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the material. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
Oversized tongue feels awkward
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better secure the tongue. Some users find wearing them for a few days allows them to adapt to the new feel. Ensure the tongue is positioned centrally.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole, or where the tongue meets the laces. Try inserting a powder (like talc) under the insole or between the tongue and laces. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any trainer. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
