FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Adidas Samba generally fits true to size, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are suitable for weightlifting due to their flat, stable sole, but are not recommended for running or high-impact aerobic activities.
How do I clean the white stripes?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner to gently wipe the stripes without affecting the black leather.
Are they waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.
Does the material stretch?
The leather upper will naturally soften and adapt to your foot shape over time with regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Outer material is showing scuffs
Use a black leather conditioning cream or professional shoe polish to buff out minor marks.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and ensure the shoe is not worn for consecutive days to allow perspiration to evaporate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Sambas remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these shoes feature a black exterior, keep them away from harsh chemicals that might cause discoloration. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a slightly damp cloth to wipe the uppers. Avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and leather materials. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry in a cool place, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
