FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football?
No, while the Samba has a rich football heritage, these specific trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes, not for playing competitive football or other sports.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers are listed in UK men's sizes. It's generally recommended to choose your standard adidas trainer size. If you're unsure, measure your foot length and consult the adidas size chart, or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather and suede materials are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I keep the white 3-Stripes clean?
For synthetic leather 3-Stripes, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently wipe the stripes clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
Is the Arsenal badge durable?
The Gunners badge on the tongue is stitched or applied with quality materials designed for durability during normal wear. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the badge area during cleaning to preserve its integrity.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles in Samba trainers are typically fixed or lightly glued. While they can sometimes be carefully removed, they are not designed for regular removal and replacement.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears stiff or creased easily.
New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes regularly to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to keep the material supple. Light creasing is normal with genuine leather.
Suede T-toe looks flattened or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away surface dirt and lift the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Always brush in one direction for best results.
Sole grip feels less effective on certain surfaces.
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean from debris or dirt that might reduce traction. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove any buildup. If worn down significantly, consult a cobbler for potential re-soling.
Trainers develop an odor.
Remove the insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Wear moisture-wicking socks to help prevent future odor buildup.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your trainers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede before first wear.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Suede T-Toe Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush to remove debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives.
