FAQs
Are the Samba XLG trainers suitable for running?
The Samba XLG trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They offer enhanced comfort with their updated sole but are not engineered for high-impact running.
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid using water, as it can damage the suede and its colour.
What is the main difference between Samba and Samba XLG?
The main difference is the 'XLG' sole, which is an updated, thicker version designed to provide enhanced comfort and a more modern, bolder aesthetic compared to the original Samba's sole.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While they can handle light moisture, it is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the material and lead to staining.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and consider your previous experiences with adidas sizing. The XLG sole might offer a slightly different fit, so if possible, try them on.
What colour is the secondary colour?
The secondary colour is Collegiate Green, complementing the primary Putty Grey.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale or on the official adidas website. Please check the specific terms for your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Suede discolouration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. Use a suede protector spray and clean with a dedicated suede cleaner.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild detergent, or replace with new laces.
Reduced comfort over time
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Clean the insoles if possible or consider adding an aftermarket insole for extra cushioning.
Sole scuffing
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a rubber eraser or specialized sole cleaner may be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To care for your Samba XLG trainers, especially the suede elements, it is recommended to use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive water, as this can damage the material and colour. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their appearance.
