FAQs
Are these adidas Samba trainers suitable for outdoor use?
While you can wear them outdoors for casual purposes, the adidas Samba Leather Trainers are primarily designed with a NON MARKING gum rubber outsole for optimal grip and performance on indoor surfaces like courts and gym floors. They may offer less grip on wet or rugged outdoor terrain.
How do I clean my adidas Samba leather trainers?
For the leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. For the suede toe cap, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials.
What does 'NON MARKING' gum rubber outsole mean?
The 'NON MARKING' feature means the outsole is specially formulated to provide excellent traction on indoor surfaces without leaving unsightly scuff marks or streaks on floors, preserving the cleanliness of gymnasiums and courts.
Is the sizing true to fit?
adidas Samba trainers are generally considered true to size for most users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If unsure, it's recommended to consult an adidas size guide or try them on.
What is the purpose of the EVA insole?
The die-cut EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) insole provides lightweight cushioning and support. It helps absorb impact, offering comfort and reducing fatigue during prolonged wear or athletic activity.
Can I use these for specific indoor sports like futsal?
Yes, these trainers are an excellent choice for indoor sports like futsal, indoor soccer, or handball. Their grippy non-marking outsole and durable construction are well-suited for the demands of these activities.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on the leather upper
For light scuffs, use a damp cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner and gently rub. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather may help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Suede toe cap looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. For dry dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede unless it's a specific suede cleaner.
Loss of grip on indoor surfaces
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dust, dirt, or residue. A damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap can restore the sole's traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before use.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable
New leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Using thick socks or shoe stretchers can help speed up the process. Ensure you have the correct size.
Unpleasant odor from trainers
Remove insoles and air out trainers. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are completely dry after use to prevent bacterial growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
Lace Up: Unlace the trainers fully, slide your foot in, and then lace them up to your desired tightness. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent slipping.
Break-In Period: Like most leather footwear, Sambas may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Surfaces: Primarily designed for indoor surfaces such as gymnasium floors, wooden courts, and synthetic turf due to their non-marking gum rubber outsole. They can be worn outdoors for casual use, but their performance and grip may vary on wet or uneven outdoor terrain.
Style: Highly versatile, pairing well with athletic wear, casual outfits (jeans, shorts), and even some smart-casual ensembles.
Activities: Ideal for indoor sports like futsal or handball, casual walking, and everyday wear.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe down the leather surfaces. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Suede Toe Cap: For suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Outsole Care: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris, which helps maintain optimal grip.
Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and rubber.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture over time.
Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
