A man who wants to go long distance running in a suede basketball shoe designed in the 60s fitted out with the insoles of a football training shoe. By far, the weirdest, most bizarre and utterly confusing request I have ever, ever read.

Well thanks for all the replies.

All my obsessiveness seems to have paid off for the moment as I have found the exact style on Amazon. They only had one pair left and amazingly they were my size. Weird. They are also a different color but not too ugly for my taste.

Here is a pic and hopefully they arrive smooth insole fortified

LOL no idea from those mate, can you rip out the old insoles? Adidas sometimes use specialist insoles from other companies. These companies often print their name on the underside of the insole.
For instance, some 80s have ortholite soles which are padded/ moulded possibly gel injected foam soles that have a silky fabric covering to them. These can be purchased on the internet.
Sorry cannot help any further as I am not a Samba man, don't know any either.

thanks. I might try that after the new pair arrives. Good info.
