FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football?
While the Samba has roots in football, these specific trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for competitive or high-impact sports.
How do I ensure the Arsenal badge on the tongue stays in good condition?
Avoid scrubbing the badge directly when cleaning. Gently wipe around it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, featuring a suede T-toe.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and overall structure of the trainers. Follow the specific care instructions for cleaning.
Are these trainers true to size?
adidas Samba models typically fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to protect the shoe's interior, wear athletic or casual socks that wick moisture. Cotton socks are also suitable for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes often require a short break-in period to conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially.
Suede T-toe looks matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Outsole has poor grip.
Ensure the `Gum 5 rubber outsole` is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce traction. Clean the treads thoroughly with a brush and water.
Leather upper appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream designed for footwear to moisturize and protect the material.

Care
Maintaining the condition of your trainers will extend their lifespan and appearance:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the `leather` and `synthetic` parts, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. For the `suede T-toe`, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Stain Removal: Address spills or stains immediately. For stubborn spots, use a specialized leather or suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole Care: Clean the `rubber outsole` with a brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain traction.
