adidas Samba Leather Trainers - Black - Striped - UK 5.5

While durable, these trainers feature a NON MARKING gum rubber outsole specifically designed to provide excellent grip on indoor surfaces without leaving marks. They may not offer optimal traction or durability on rough outdoor terrains like asphalt or dirt.

For leather, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner as needed. For the suede toe cap, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid getting suede excessively wet. Always air dry away from direct heat.

A 'NON MARKING' outsole is designed to provide excellent grip on indoor court surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks, preserving the cleanliness of gym or sports hall floors.

Adidas Samba trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly between individuals. This specific pair is a UK 5.5. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.

Info needed: Whether the die-cut EVA insole is designed to be removable for cleaning or replacement is not specified in the product description. Typically, 'die-cut' insoles are often glued in place for stability but can sometimes be gently pried out.

The adidas Samba line has a rich history in professional indoor soccer, and its design principles are rooted in athletic performance. While excellent for recreational indoor sports and gym use, always consider specific requirements for competitive or professional play.

Ensure the NON MARKING gum rubber outsole is clean. Dirt, dust, or residue can reduce traction. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the issue persists, inspect the outsole for excessive wear.

Check your lacing; it might be too tight or too loose. Adjust for a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot without constriction. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the trainers are new, allow for a brief break-in period for the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

For leather, use a clean, damp cloth for general dirt. For deeper stains or to restore luster, apply a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid using water on suede excessively.

After use, allow trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles if possible for better air circulation. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb moisture and odors.
