FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The adidas Originals Samba XLG features a regular fit. Most users find them true to their standard shoe size. However, individual foot shapes and preferences vary, so it's always recommended to try them on for the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Can I use these for sports activities?

These trainers are designed with a nod to street and sport legacy, incorporating skate and football inspiration. While suitable for light activities like 'kickabouts in the park' or casual workouts, they are primarily fashion-oriented trainers and not designed for high-performance sports requiring specialized athletic footwear.

What does 'XLG' signify in the product name?

The 'XLG' in adidas Originals Samba XLG refers to the exaggerated midsole tooling. This means the shoe features a thicker, more prominent sole compared to the traditional Samba, offering enhanced cushioning and a bolder, modernized silhouette inspired by contemporary skate and street styles.

How do I clean the rubber gum sole?

The rubber gum sole can be effectively cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For stubborn dirt or grime, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.

Is the upper truly made of leather?

Yes, the upper of the adidas Originals Samba XLG is crafted from high-quality premium leather, ensuring durability, comfort, and a classic, sophisticated look. The interior lining is also made of leather for added comfort.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these leather trainers are not inherently waterproof. While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water can damage the material. We recommend using a quality leather protector spray for added water resistance if you anticipate wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes new shoes can squeak due to friction between parts. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. Also, ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent excessive movement within the shoe.

Leather looks dull or has minor scuffs

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface grime. Then, apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish designed for footwear to restore its luster. For minor scuffs, a matching leather repair cream or balm can help blend the marks.

Shoes feel too tight or loose despite correct size

The trainers feature a regular fit. If they feel tight, try adjusting the lacing pattern or loosening the laces slightly. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or an additional thin insole for a snugger fit. Ensure you verify the UK size as indicated on the product.

Setup:

The adidas Originals Samba XLG features a standard lace closure. Simply unlace, insert your foot, and tighten the laces for a secure and comfortable fit. The padded tongue will help minimize pressure points and ensure a snug feel.

Compatibility:

These trainers come in a regular fit and are designed for unisex wear. They are available in various UK sizes to ensure a wide range of compatibility. Always refer to the specific UK size for an accurate fit, as US/Euro sizes may vary on labels.

Care:

As the upper is primarily leather, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance and longevity.

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the leather and cause it to crack or warp.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water, stains, and environmental elements. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
