FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like playing football.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a suede brush for the suede. Specialized leather and suede cleaners are recommended for tougher stains. Always allow them to air dry.
What does 'YNWA' stand for?
'YNWA' is an abbreviation for 'You'll Never Walk Alone', the anthem famously associated with Liverpool Football Club.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to consult the size chart provided by adidas or try them on in-store if possible for the best fit.
What is the significance of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is a classic feature of the original Samba shoes, providing durability and a vintage aesthetic commonly found on 'terrace' style sneakers.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, particularly the leather and suede, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty terms can vary.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try inserting a powder talc or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture, or a bit of talc between the tongue and laces.
Dirt on suede T-toe
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry.
Color transfer from 3-Stripes or branding
This is unlikely with standard use but can happen in very wet conditions. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks or trousers. If color transfer occurs, clean affected areas immediately with a damp cloth.
Gum sole scuff marks
Light scuff marks can often be removed with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a white eraser or a specialist sole cleaner may be effective. Test on a small area first.
