FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Sambae trainers true to size?

Generally, adidas Sambae trainers tend to fit true to size. However, as foot shapes vary, we recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the note about potential differences in US/Euro sizing on the label versus UK sizing.

How do I clean the leather and nubuck upper?

For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For nubuck, use a dry nubuck brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized nubuck cleaner for stains. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear these trainers for sports or running?

The adidas Originals Sambae trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not engineered for high-performance sports or running activities that require specialized support and cushioning.

What is the main difference between the classic Samba and the Sambae?

The Sambae is a modern refresh of the classic Samba. It typically features an elevated sole, updated premium materials like smooth leather and nubuck, and refined stitched details, giving it a more contemporary and 'elevated' fashion aesthetic compared to the original design.

Is the gum rubber outsole non-marking?

The gum rubber outsole is generally designed to be non-marking on most indoor surfaces. However, extreme conditions or specific floor types might vary, so it's always good practice to be mindful.

What kind of socks should I wear with Sambae trainers?

For optimal comfort and to help manage moisture, especially with leather and nubuck uppers, we recommend wearing quality cotton or moisture-wicking athletic socks. This also helps protect the interior lining and prolong the life of your trainers.

Troubleshooting

My Sambae trainers feel a bit stiff during the first few wears.

This is common with new leather and nubuck footwear. Continue to wear them for short periods, and the materials will gradually soften and mold to your feet, improving comfort.

The leather or nubuck upper has a scuff or light stain.

For leather, gently rub the scuff with a clean, soft cloth. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck eraser or a clean pencil eraser for light marks, then brush with a nubuck brush. For more persistent stains, use a dedicated leather or nubuck cleaner according to product instructions.

The gum rubber outsole seems to be losing its grip.

Inspect the outsole for accumulated dirt or debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and mild soapy water, then rinse and air dry. A clean outsole provides optimal traction.

My feet feel warm or less breathable after wearing them for a long time.

As the upper is made of leather and nubuck, it offers less ventilation than mesh materials. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage foot temperature and moisture. Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon receiving your adidas Originals Sambae trainers, it is crucial to try them on before returning. Pay close attention to the fit, as footwear sizing can sometimes vary, and the box or label may state a US/Euro size different from the UK size you ordered. Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for natural foot movement without excessive tightness or slippage. Lace them up securely to get a true feel for the fit.

Compatibility

The Sambae trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and contemporary fashion styles. They are ideal for everyday wear, suitable for various activities from running errands to social gatherings. Their robust build and grippy outsole mean they are well-suited for navigating urban environments and general walking.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and longevity of your leather and nubuck Sambae trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For leather areas, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). For nubuck sections, use a specialized nubuck brush to remove dry dirt and a nubuck cleaner for stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the material.
  2. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather and nubuck protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Outsole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
