Full details
The adidas Performance Samba Messi Low Shoes are designed for adults seeking a stylish and functional low-top shoe, perfect for casual wear and light athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the blend of iconic design with a non-slip rubber sole for reliable grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
The Samba Messi Low Shoes are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for the rigors of playing football or other high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas, considering your UK foot measurement. The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with room for toe movement.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are not recommended for leather shoes as they can damage the material and construction. Always clean by hand following the care instructions.
What is the main difference between Samba and Samba Messi models?
The Samba Messi models are typically inspired by or feature design elements related to the footballer Lionel Messi, often with specific colorways or branding, while maintaining the classic Samba silhouette.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are made of leather and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions, and care should be taken in wet weather.
How long does the leather typically last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the leather can remain in good condition for a significant period, typically several years of moderate use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if they need a brief break-in period.
Slight stiffness in the material
This is normal for leather. Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. The textured rubber sole provides grip, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces may inherently offer less traction.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Samba Messi shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
