FAQs
Are adidas Originals Sambae trainers suitable for sports?
No, while inspired by indoor football shoes, the Sambae trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, focusing on style and everyday comfort rather than athletic performance.
What is the best way to clean my Sambae trainers?
For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck brush and cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, the Sambae trainers are designed with a regular fit and generally run true to standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual shoe size.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and nubuck. A protective spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
What kind of outsole do these trainers have?
The Sambae trainers feature a grippy translucent gum rubber outsole, which provides excellent traction and adds to their distinctive aesthetic.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: Please check the specific product or consult the manufacturer's details regarding removable insoles, as this can vary by model and production run.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. The regular fit allows for flexibility; experiment with different lacing techniques to find your optimal comfort. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot.
Stains on leather or nubuck areas
For leather, use a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For nubuck, gently brush off dry dirt with a specialized nubuck brush. For stubborn stains, a nubuck eraser or cleaner can be applied carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Outsole appears dirty or slippery
Clean the translucent gum rubber outsole with a stiff brush and mild soap and water. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed from the treads to maintain optimal grip.
Unpleasant odour developing inside the shoes
Remove the insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours. Ensure your feet are dry before wearing them to prevent moisture buildup.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Sambae trainers, proper care is essential, especially given their leather and nubuck construction:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For nubuck sections, use a specialized nubuck brush or cleaner to gently remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Stains: Address stains promptly. For leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used. For nubuck, a nubuck eraser or spot cleaner is recommended.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather and nubuck protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
