FAQs
How do I clean my adidas Samba Suede Trainers?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Water and stains are best prevented with a suede protector spray. Avoid regular soap and water, as it can damage the suede.
Are these trainers suitable for sports, like football?
While the adidas Samba has roots in football, the Suede Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear. They offer good traction for casual wear, but they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities or intense sports.
Do I need to waterproof them?
It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time. This will help repel water and stains, significantly extending the life and appearance of your trainers, especially in damp conditions.
Are they true to size?
adidas Samba trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit for your comfort.
What kind of socks should I wear with them?
For optimal comfort and to maintain hygiene, it's recommended to wear socks that provide cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. Ankle socks or no-show socks are popular choices for aesthetic reasons with low-top trainers.
Can I wear them in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water and can be easily damaged or stained if exposed to heavy rain. If you must wear them in light drizzle, ensure they are treated with a high-quality suede protector. Always allow them to air dry completely if they get wet.
What is the 'football-inspired tread' on the outsole?
The football-inspired tread refers to the specific pattern on the rubber outsole, designed to provide excellent multi-directional grip and traction. This design harks back to the Samba's origins as an indoor football shoe, ensuring stability for everyday movement.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. This helps to lift the nap and restore its texture and vibrancy. Always brush in one direction.
Visible dirt or light scuffs on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the dirt or scuff marks. For more ingrained dirt, follow up with a suede brush. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Water stains on the suede
If the stain is fresh, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried water stains, lightly dampen the entire affected area with clean water (using a spray bottle for even distribution) and then use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. Allow to air dry naturally.
Outsoles have reduced grip
Clean the rubber outsoles thoroughly with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt, debris, or small stones from the tread pattern. Ensure the treads are clear for optimal traction.

Care
Given their suede construction, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba trainers.
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning:
- For dry dirt or scuffs: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- For stubborn marks or stains: Use a specialized suede eraser or a suede cleaning solution following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid soap and water: Do not use standard soap and water, as it can stain and damage suede.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
