FAQs
Are the adidas Samba trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size.
Can I use these for running?
No, the Samba is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker and lacks the cushioning and impact protection needed for running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
Use a toothbrush and a mix of warm water and mild detergent to scrub away dirt from the grooves.
Are these shoes unisex?
The Samba series includes both gender-specific and unisex options, though the design is generally considered versatile for all.
Will the white leather turn yellow over time?
Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight will significantly delay discoloration of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dipped in mild soapy water to gently wipe the area.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Remove the insole and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder underneath to reduce friction.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps. For daily upkeep, wipe down the leather or synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and materials. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. When fitting the shoes, ensure you are using the correct UK size—such as the UK 8 model—to prevent unnecessary friction or heel slippage.
