How does the sizing typically run for these trainers?
Adidas Samba ADV trainers generally run true to size. However, for skateboarding, a snug fit is often preferred for better control.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight initially
This is common with leather and suede shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean from debris, dirt, or dust. Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For excessive wear, consider if the shoe has reached the end of its intended lifespan for heavy skateboarding use.
Suede showing water stains
Once dry, attempt to gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap. For persistent stains, a dedicated suede cleaner may be necessary. It is best to avoid wearing the shoes in wet conditions.
