FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the Adidas Samba OG W Animal Print sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they have heritage as a football training shoe, their current iteration and flat sole are not engineered for the demands of modern running or high-performance sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

These are listed in UK women's sizing. We recommend referring to Adidas's official size chart for an accurate fit. Many find Sambas fit true to size, but if you are between sizes, consider trying both.

Can the animal print rub off or fade?

The animal print is applied with durability in mind, but like any printed material, excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning agents can cause wear. Follow the care instructions carefully to preserve the print's integrity.

What does 'OG' stand for?

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster,' indicating that the design is a faithful recreation or a direct descendant of the initial, iconic release of the product, maintaining its classic characteristics.

Are these comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their leather upper and lining, and traditional flat sole, the Adidas Samba OG W Animal Print sneakers are designed to be comfortable for everyday, all-day casual wear. The leather will conform to your foot over time.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is typically non-marking, making these suitable for indoor surfaces without leaving scuff marks. This aligns with their heritage as an indoor training shoe.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for shoes. This will help moisturize the leather and restore its natural sheen.

Squeaking sound when walking

Ensure the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes, a loose insole rubbing against the shoe's interior can cause squeaking. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can often help.

Stains on the animal print

Gently spot clean the affected area using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the print.

Slippery feel on certain outdoor surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for optimal grip on indoor surfaces and general casual use. While it provides good general traction, it may not perform as well on extremely wet or slick outdoor conditions. Exercise caution on such surfaces.

Care:

Proper care will help maintain the premium leather and distinctive animal print of your Samba OG W sneakers.

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: For general dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply gently and wipe off with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Animal Print Care: Be gentle when cleaning the animal print areas. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid excessive rubbing which could damage the print.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the rubber outsole and sidewalls. Remove any debris from the tread to maintain grip.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or shrinking.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for printed leather.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
