FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Sambae made from?
The upper is crafted from a combination of smooth nubuck and leather, with a textile lining and a translucent gum rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Sambae features a 'regular fit.' While generally accommodating, individuals with particularly wide feet may find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent damage to the materials. For better protection, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe down the shoes with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather or nubuck cleaner formulated for white footwear. Promptly address any spills or marks to prevent them from becoming permanent stains.
Are they true to size?
Generally, adidas Originals shoes, including the Sambae, tend to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. This specific model is a UK 8.5 for women.
Are these shoes designed for athletic activities?
The Sambae is a lifestyle sneaker, perfect for casual wear and everyday activities. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not specifically designed for high-performance sports or intense athletic training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather and nubuck upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.
White upper gets dirty easily
Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to prevent dirt from setting in. For tougher stains, use a mild leather/nubuck cleaner specifically designed for white materials.
Sole grip seems to be diminishing
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean. Dirt or debris stuck in the tread can reduce grip. Clean the sole with a brush and mild soapy water to restore traction.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Consider using a double knot for added security if needed. Inspect laces for any wear that might prevent them from holding a knot.

Care Instructions
To keep your adidas Originals Sambae trainers looking their best:
- Daily Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, gently wipe the nubuck and leather upper with a soft, dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently dab the stained area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather/Nubuck): For more stubborn dirt, specialized leather or nubuck cleaners can be used. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Gumsole Care: Clean the translucent gum rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soap and water to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust buildup and maintain shape.
