Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals Samba OG trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, heritage-inspired shoe that bridges the gap between athletic roots and modern street style. Perfect for daily wear ranging from casual coffee runs to social outings, these trainers offer a durable leather construction and a comfortable low-profile fit. While they provide excellent style and reliability, users should note that as a classic design, they feature a flatter sole profile which may lack the advanced arch support found in dedicated performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba OG is a lifestyle heritage trainer and is not engineered for high-impact running or intense athletic performance.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are designed for a standard fit. We recommend selecting your regular UK shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Spot cleaning is the recommended method.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather typically softens and forms to the shape of your foot with wear, but it will not stretch significantly in length.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, while listed in various categories, the Samba OG design is universally styled and suitable for all genders.
What should I do if the leather gets wet?
Pat the shoes dry with a towel and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture from the inside. Let them dry at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather retain its natural shape.
Laces loosening during the day
Ensure a double knot is used if you are particularly active, or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces.
Surface dirt on white leather
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution to gently remove debris, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. When fitting, ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot width without overtightening to preserve the leather. Since these shoes use premium leather, avoid wearing them in heavy downpours to prevent water staining. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
