adidas Samba - Green - UK 5.5

Generally, adidas Sambas fit true to size. However, if you have wider feet, some users find them slightly narrow initially, but the leather will stretch and conform to your foot with wear.

While the Samba has a rich history in indoor football, modern iterations like this one are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not recommended for high-performance sports due to advancements in athletic footwear technology.

Regular light cleaning after each wear (wiping down) is beneficial. A more thorough clean, especially for the leather and suede, should be done as needed based on visible dirt or stains, typically every few weeks or months depending on usage.

Yes, the gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and excellent grip on appropriate surfaces. It's designed to withstand regular wear, contributing to the long lifespan of the shoe.

With proper care and protection from prolonged direct sunlight, the green colour should remain vibrant. Using UV protective sprays designed for leather can also help prevent fading.

It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede. This will help protect your sneakers from rain, spills, and keep them looking newer for longer, especially given the suede detailing.

The full grain leather needs time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to naturally mold to your feet over time. Using shoe trees can also help maintain shape and prevent excessive creasing.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub off dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth and follow the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

This can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch underneath, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, check if the outsole is securely attached.

The leather upper offers less breathability than mesh materials. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat. Ensure your shoes are properly aired out between wears to prevent odour buildup.

Remove the laces and hand wash them with a mild detergent and warm water. For stubborn stains, a gentle bleach solution (diluted) can be used, but rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
