FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While the original Samba was an indoor football trainer, this Animal Print edition is designed primarily for fashion and casual wear due to its delicate pony hair upper. It's not recommended for high-impact sports.
How do I clean the animal print pony hair?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, dab with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap solution. Avoid rubbing. Let air dry completely.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, these adidas Samba OG Animal Print shoes feature a regular fit and typically run true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The pony hair and leather materials are not fully waterproof. While light drizzle is likely fine, heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the lining material?
The shoes feature a comfortable synthetic lining.
Is the animal print pattern durable?
The cheetah print is integrated into the pony hair material. With proper care as outlined, it is designed to maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.
Are these shoes unisex?
Although listed as 'Female' in the attributes, the adidas Samba design is often considered unisex. However, specific sizing conventions might apply based on gendered sizing charts.
What type of outsole do these shoes have?
They feature a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair looks matted or dull
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair to restore its texture and sheen. Avoid harsh rubbing or excessive moisture.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lace closure by re-lacing the shoes, ensuring an even tension across the foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques if needed for a more customized fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with baby powder before reinserting. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly
Regularly clean the shoes as per the care instructions. Consider applying a suitable protective spray for mixed materials to help repel dirt and moisture, especially before initial wear.
Developing an odor
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup: Simply lace up your adidas Samba OG Animal Print shoes for a secure, comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your preference to ensure optimal comfort and support. Compatibility: These shoes feature a regular fit and are compatible with standard sock types. They are designed for general casual wear and fashion-forward styling. Consider your outfit's aesthetic to best complement the bold animal print. Care: 1. Cleaning the Pony Hair: Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush (a dedicated shoe brush or soft toothbrush works well). For stains, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted dish soap) and gently dab the affected area. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the hair. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and let air dry away from direct heat. 2. Cleaning Leather Details: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down leather sections. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly. 3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally. Do not put them in a dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage materials. 4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. 5. Protection: Consider using a protective spray designed for mixed materials to help repel water and stains, especially on the pony hair.
