FAQs

Are adidas Sambae trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, while they draw inspiration from indoor football shoes, the Sambae trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style for everyday activities but are not intended for high-performance running or athletic sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

The adidas Sambae trainers typically run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual adidas size. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult the adidas size guide or try them on.

What is the sole made of?

The sole features a translucent gum rubber outsole, which provides good grip and adds to the shoe's distinct aesthetic.

Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?

The leather and nubuck upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the materials. Consider applying a water-resistant spray for added protection.

How often should I clean my Sambae trainers?

Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For daily wear, a quick wipe down after use can prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning is recommended monthly or as needed to maintain their premium appearance.

What is the 'elevated design' mentioned in the description?

The 'elevated design' refers to the Sambae's slightly thicker, more substantial platform sole compared to the traditional Samba. This gives the shoe a modern silhouette and a bit of extra height, distinguishing it from its classic predecessor.

Are these shoes heavy?

The Sambae trainers, with their premium leather upper and gum sole, have a comfortable weight. They are not excessively heavy and are designed for comfortable wear throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather and nubuck materials require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to soften and conform to your feet. Wearing thick socks can also help during this phase.

Stains or scuffs on the leather/nubuck upper

For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather or nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum outsole appears dirty or is losing its grip

Clean the outsole regularly using warm water and a mild dish soap with a stiff brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off and let air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your adidas Sambae trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lace Up: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Adjust Fit: Once your foot is in, tighten the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure they are snug but not too tight.
  3. Break-in Period: Like most leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort as the materials conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

The Sambae trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of wardrobe choices:

  • Apparel: Jeans, chinos, skirts, dresses, shorts, and casual trousers.
  • Occasions: Ideal for casual outings, daily wear, urban exploring, social events, and relaxed work environments.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Sambae trainers:

  • Cleaning the Leather/Nubuck Upper:
  1. Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., a shoe brush or old toothbrush).
  2. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Wipe the surface gently in small sections.
  4. Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  5. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. For nubuck, consider using a nubuck brush after drying to restore the texture.
  • Cleaning the Gum Outsole:
  1. Use a mild soap solution and a brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub away dirt and grime from the sole.
  2. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  • Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray suitable for leather and nubuck to protect them from the elements and spills.
