FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Originals Sambae are designed for casual wear and urban environments, not for high-performance running or athletic sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over specialized athletic support.
How do I clean the translucent gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush or an old toothbrush can be used. Ensure to wipe off any soap residue thoroughly.
Are the Sambae shoes waterproof?
The Sambae shoes are not explicitly designed to be waterproof. The nubuck and leather upper can repel light moisture if treated with a protective spray, but they are not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper of the adidas Originals Sambae features a combination of smooth leather and nubuck, along with premium stitched details, providing a high-quality and distinctive look.
How should I choose the right size?
The Sambae shoes generally feature a 'regular fit.' We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort. If you have worn adidas shoes before, you might find your usual size to be suitable. Refer to adidas' official sizing charts if unsure.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the Sambae shoes, as it can damage the leather, nubuck, and adhesives, potentially altering their shape and appearance. Always clean them by hand using appropriate methods for leather and nubuck.
What type of lining do these shoes have?
The adidas Originals Sambae shoes feature a comfortable textile lining, which contributes to the overall soft feel inside the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather/nubuck upper.
For light scuffs, a specialized leather or nubuck eraser might work. For deeper marks, a proper leather/nubuck cleaner and conditioner can help, followed by a protector spray.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure lacing is not too tight, and consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Outsole loses its grip over time.
Regularly clean the gum rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might reduce traction. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Sambae shoes:

- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather and nubuck.

- Protection: Apply a suitable leather and nubuck protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains.
