FAQs

Are the Samba Jane trainers true to size?

The Samba Jane trainers are generally reported to fit true to size. However, as they are made of leather, they will stretch slightly and mold to your foot over time. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit; a snugger fit may loosen up, while a looser fit might benefit from thicker socks or insoles.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt or stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and prevent discomfort.

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

The primary difference is the Mary Jane-inspired design of the Samba Jane, featuring an open slip-on construction and a signature strap utility, offering a more contemporary and accessible style compared to the classic lace-up Samba.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

The Samba Jane trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer good comfort and grip for everyday activities, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact athletic performance.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of gum rubber, which provides excellent durability and reliable grip on various surfaces.

How should I store my Samba Jane trainers?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

The leather upper will naturally mold to your foot over time. Try wearing them around the house for short periods. You can also slightly loosen the laces or consider using a shoe stretcher for persistent tightness.

Dirt or scuffs on the white leather

Use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild leather cleaner. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser (used gently) can be effective. Address stains as soon as possible.

Gum sole appears discolored

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For yellowing, try a specialized gum sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water, applied gently with a soft brush. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying.

Laces are difficult to adjust

Ensure the laces are not too tightly woven through the eyelets. You may need to break them in by gently working them back and forth. If they are frayed, consider replacing them with new adidas laces.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Upper: Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.
  • Suede Accents: If your model includes suede, use a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove light dirt.
  • Soles: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
