Imperatriz do Samba

We added this new samba gladiators from our shoemaker with 50 years of experience in samba shoe making. The style is gorgeous with a vertical front middle strap and 7 or 8 side buckles on the lower leg. This style will get you looking good as it elongates a samba leg.

On our blog we wrote a brief history of Samba Platforms that we are sure you will enjoy!
