Full details
The adidas Samba OG Trainers are ideal for fashion-conscious adults looking to combine a heritage athletic silhouette with a touch of luxury for everyday wear. These trainers provide a distinctive, fashion-forward statement through their unique crystal embellishments while maintaining the comfort of the classic Samba design; however, the delicate nature of the decorative crystal detailing means they require more careful maintenance than standard suede or leather trainers to keep them looking pristine.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba OG is a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the arch support or cushioning necessary for running or high-intensity sports.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba OG generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is best to avoid wet weather as the materials and crystal embellishments may be damaged by moisture and debris.
How should I store them?
Keep them in a dry area out of direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees or paper stuffing to help maintain their shape.
Are these unisex?
These are listed for adult female sizing, though the style is widely considered gender-neutral in design.
Troubleshooting
Crystal becomes loose
Avoid rubbing the affected area; if a crystal detaches, do not attempt to re-glue with household adhesives as this can damage the upper material.
Surface scuffing on the gum sole
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a pencil eraser to gently lift scuff marks from the gum rubber without damaging the surrounding material.
Loss of shine on crystals
Gently buff the crystal sections with a dry, clean microfibre cloth to remove oils and restore the reflective finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate crystal embellishments, these trainers require specific care to ensure longevity. Avoid machine washing or using abrasive cleaning brushes that might catch on or loosen the decorative elements. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away surface dust. If deeper cleaning is required, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding the crystal-heavy sections. Ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. These shoes fit true to size for most adults, though if you prefer wearing thicker socks, consider the standard width accommodate your foot shape appropriately.
