FAQs
What materials are these trainers made from?
The trainers feature a leather and synthetic upper, with a suede T-toe overlay, and a synthetic rubber sole for durability and comfort.
Are these suitable for playing football?
No, these adidas Samba trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance football on pitches. They are part of the 'terrace heritage' collection.
How do I clean the white 3-Stripes and Gold foil wordmark?
For the synthetic leather 3-Stripes, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For the gold foil wordmark, avoid abrasive cleaning; simply wipe very gently with a soft, dry cloth to prevent damage to the foil.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Adidas Samba models generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by foot shape. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the leather upper offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially to protect the suede elements and the overall integrity of the shoe. A protective spray can offer additional repellency.
Is the Gunners badge sewn on or printed?
The Gunners badge on the tongue is typically a high-quality, woven or embroidered patch, securely attached to highlight the team's emblem.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper needs a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time, improving comfort.
Suede T-toe looks dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used. Always brush in one direction.
Trainer laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). You might also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material or texture that holds knots better if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply unbox your trainers, untie the laces, and adjust them for a comfortable fit. The initial wear might feel snug, especially with the leather upper, but they will gradually conform to your foot shape.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Samba Arsenal trainers:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For the suede T-toe, use a suede brush to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather or suede cleaner following the product instructions.
- Drying: If wet, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Applying a suitable leather or suede protector spray can help repel water and stains, especially for the suede elements.
