FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I wear these for sports?
While they originated as indoor soccer shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact professional sports.
How do I clean the white stripes?
A gentle soap solution and a soft-bristle toothbrush work well to remove dirt from the white stripes without damaging the material.
Are they water-resistant?
The leather offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics if you require extra arch support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
The leather upper will soften and stretch with use; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a leather conditioner to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba trainers last, start by ensuring you have the correct size; the leather will stretch slightly over time. For care, use a soft brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To keep the shape, consider using cedar shoe trees when not in use.
