Getting started with your adidas Samba LT trainers is straightforward:
Lacing: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to allow your foot to comfortably slide in.
Adjust Fit: Once your foot is in, adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The lace cover can be positioned over the laces for its intended aesthetic.
Break-in Period: Like most new footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial for the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Intended User: Designed for adult females (UK size 6).
Outfit Pairing: Ideal for casual, streetwear, and athleisure styles. Pairs well with jeans, track pants, shorts, and casual dresses.
Environment: Best suited for dry, urban, and indoor environments. The grippy outsole performs well on pavements and indoor courts.
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba LT trainers:
Cleaning Nubuck/Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated nubuck/suede cleaner can be used gently. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking.
General Cleaning: For the rubber outsole and synthetic lining, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for nubuck and suede before first wear and periodically thereafter.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: Nubuck and suede are sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and material damage.
