FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing football or other sports?

While inspired by adidas football boots, the Samba Super Trainers are specifically designed for everyday casual wear and comfort, not for high-intensity athletic performance or competitive sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers are listed in UK sizing. Generally, adidas sizing is consistent, but if unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to a standard adidas size chart. Info needed: [Provide a link to an adidas size chart if available].

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, especially when treated with a leather protector. However, they are not waterproof, and heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water should be avoided to protect the leather and internal materials.

What is the 'thick textured extended sole adds character to the toe area' feature?

This refers to a distinct design element on the front of the sole that extends upwards, providing a textured, unique aesthetic detail to the toe box. It's a signature style choice for the Samba Super model.

How often should I apply leather protector?

After the initial application, it's recommended to reapply leather protector every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently you wear the trainers and the conditions they are exposed to. Reapply after any thorough cleaning.

Is the textile inner removable?

The textile inner lining is typically integrated into the shoe's construction for comfort and may not be easily removable. If you use custom insoles, check for compatibility and space before inserting them.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the leather upper

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated mild leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Afterwards, reapply a leather protector.

Slippery feel on certain surfaces

Ensure the grip outsole is clean and free of embedded debris. While the outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or polished surfaces can reduce grip. Exercise caution on such surfaces.

Uncomfortable fit after initial wear

New trainers often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Ensure your lacing is adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct UK size.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers

Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear, especially if worn for extended periods. Remove insoles if possible for better ventilation. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and odors.

Fading or dullness of the leather

Regularly clean and condition the leather. After cleaning, apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish to moisturize the material and restore its natural lustre. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Care

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

  1. Initial Protection: Immediately after purchase, apply a high-quality leather protector spray to the entire leather upper. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Clean the synthetic sole and grip outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and debris.
  4. Air Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather trainers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
