FAQs
Are the adidas Samba XLG Carbon Grey trainers waterproof?
No, the Samba XLG Carbon Grey trainers are not waterproof. The suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining, so it's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the main difference between the Samba XLG and the original Samba?
The Samba XLG features a 'supersized' silhouette with a thicker midsole, padded tongue and heel, and overall more exaggerated proportions for enhanced comfort compared to the slimmer original Samba.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These are lifestyle trainers designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday wear. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or running due to their construction.
What are the 3-stripes made of?
The 3-stripes on the adidas Samba XLG Carbon Grey are part of the monochrome design and are made of suede, matching the upper material.
What is the sole made of?
The sole features a thicker midsole constructed with full-length EVA for cushioning, providing a comfortable and supportive base.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede upper. Machine washing can damage the material and the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions, and allow to air dry completely.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If the laces themselves are stiff, they may benefit from being replaced with new ones.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly through all eyelets. For a looser feel, ease the tension on the laces. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Slight discoloration on suede
This can sometimes happen with suede. Try gently brushing the affected area with a suede brush. If the discoloration persists, a suede eraser or specific suede cleaner might be necessary, used with caution.
