FAQs
Are the Adidas Samba XLG White Black Gum true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly by individual fit. It is recommended to check size charts and consider that the XLG version might have a slightly different feel due to its thicker sole.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For scuff marks, a pencil eraser often works well.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from white leather, with a beige suede overlay on the toe box.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Samba XLG is designed as a lifestyle and streetwear sneaker. While inspired by football shoes, its updated construction with extra cushioning is best suited for casual wear, not rigorous athletic performance.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather and suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also improve comfort.
Suede toe overlay looks dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush or a suede eraser to gently clean the affected area. Avoid using water on the suede parts.
White leather shows discoloration or stubborn marks
Try cleaning with a mild leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For persistent marks, consult specific leather care guides.
Gum sole has black marks
Often, black marks on gum rubber can be removed with a standard pencil eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark.
