Quality seems very good as expected for a premium/limited samba. Patent leather is uniform, with no defects/variations in finish. Suede has a nice nap to it. I really like the additional ankle padding on these…something usually not found anywhere on a samba model.
Overall construction isn’t as nice as the recent Made in Italy pairs. Those had a quality dress shoe level of build, as expected. These are the usual SEA production, with a different design/materials. Still very nicely done.
