Mostly yes, with two caveats:

1. Some batches run slightly differently in length. Ask for an insole measurement in QC.
2. Suede uppers stretch a bit; leather Samba uppers stretch less. If you’re between sizes on a suede model, the smaller size is more forgiving than on leather.

The [French Samba thread](https://superreps.net/fr/t/samba-replique-taille-daim-style/184) has more on the suede itself.
