FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a distinct woven material, complemented by the recognizable suede t-toe design.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
While the Samba has a rich football heritage, these specific trainers are designed as a streetwear essential and are not recommended for high-performance sports.
How do I properly clean the suede part of the trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush for light dirt and a suede eraser or cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.
What kind of sole do these trainers have?
They feature a textured rubber sole, which contributes to their durability and provides good grip.
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas Samba OG trainers are generally considered true to size for UK adult sizing. However, personal fit preferences may vary. We recommend consulting an Adidas sizing chart if unsure.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Due to the suede components, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain or damage suede. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
How can I maintain the fresh look of the woven upper?
To clean the woven upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the weave. Allow to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dull.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction, which helps to revive its texture and appearance.
Stains on the suede material.
For light stains, try a suede eraser. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully.
Sole appears dirty or lacks grip.
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to get into the textured grooves for better cleaning and restored grip.
Trainers feel too snug or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK 11 size. Consider wearing different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or try on alternative sizes.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
