FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba generally fits true to size, but the nylon construction may feel slightly more flexible than leather versions.
Can I use these for sports?
While based on a football training silhouette, this is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual use, not high-performance athletics.
How do I clean the nylon upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Is the tongue removable?
No, the fold-over tongue is an integrated design element of the Wales Bonner collaboration.
Does the gum sole provide good grip?
Yes, the gum rubber outsole provides reliable traction on most urban surfaces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Samba silhouette is typically slim; if you have wide feet, you may consider sizing up by half a size.
Troubleshooting
The fold-over tongue won't stay flat.
Smooth the tongue down manually and ensure your laces are pulled tight enough to hold the fold in place.
Nylon upper looks dull.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris.
Creasing at the toe box.
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the nylon retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing socks that match the desired aesthetic—thin or crew-length socks work well with the Samba silhouette. To maintain the nylon upper, avoid heavy mud or water exposure. If they get dirty, spot-clean the nylon with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting these shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation can damage the delicate nylon construction and the adhesive on the gum sole. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
