adidas Originals Sambae - White - Striped - UK 9.5

The Sambae features a smooth nubuck and leather upper with a comfortable textile lining and is finished with a translucent gum rubber outsole.

The adidas Sambae is primarily designed as a fashion and lifestyle shoe, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While the gumsole provides good grip for street use, they are not optimized for high-performance athletic activities.

For white leather and nubuck, it's best to clean regularly. Use a soft brush for nubuck to remove loose dirt, and a damp cloth for leather. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather and nubuck, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry.

The Sambae generally has a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual size for a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, it is often advisable to consult adidas' official size guide or customer reviews for specific fit feedback.

The Sambae offers a modern, elevated refresh of the classic Samba design. Key differences include the smooth nubuck and leather upper with premium stitched details, and a slightly more substantial, translucent gum rubber outsole for a contemporary aesthetic.

While the leather upper offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials and maintain the shoe's appearance. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The translucent gum rubber outsole is designed for good grip and typically does not leave marks on most indoor surfaces. However, always exercise caution on highly polished or delicate floors.

Info needed: Check with adidas customer service or authorized retailers for availability of replacement laces. Standard white flat laces of appropriate length can often be sourced from shoe accessory stores.

Regularly wipe down with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather/nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Consider applying a protective spray.

Like most leather shoes, the Sambae will require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. This usually resolves within a few wears.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the leather and nubuck offer premium feel, they may not be as breathable as mesh materials. Consider moisture-wicking socks if needed.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot,' to improve retention.
