adidas Originals Samba XLG - Black - UK 10

The Samba XLG maintains the iconic Samba design but features an exaggerated midsole tooling, inspired by skate and football culture, and incorporates a full-length EVA drop-in for enhanced comfort and a more substantial feel.

While durable and comfortable for general wear, the Samba XLG is designed more for casual daily use, street style, and light activities like 'kickabouts in the park' rather than high-performance sports or intense workouts.

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following its instructions. Always finish with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.

The trainers are designed with a regular fit. We recommend referring to the UK size for accuracy, as sizing on the box may sometimes list US/Euro equivalents which can be confusing. Trying them on is always the best way to ensure a perfect fit.

They feature a durable rubber gum sole, which provides excellent grip and contributes to the classic aesthetic of the Samba design.

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to protect the leather and ensure the longevity of the shoes.

Clean the area with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a leather balm or polish matched to the shoe's color can help restore its appearance.

New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure laces are adjusted for optimal comfort, not too tight or too loose.

Often, a new shoe might squeak due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, and then reinserting it. This can reduce friction. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole material, which usually subsides with wear.

The 'regular fit' means standard sizing. Ensure you've confirmed your correct UK shoe size. Pay attention to how you lace them; different lacing patterns can adjust the fit across the top of your foot. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half size up or down if available, as individual foot shapes vary.
