FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba OG generally fits true to size, though the narrow profile may benefit those with wider feet by sizing up half a size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption and structural support required for running.
How do I maintain the leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are made of leather, which is water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the stock insoles can generally be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or higher-cushion insoles.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
This is common with new leather trainers; wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.
Laces coming untied frequently.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a reef knot; if the problem persists, the laces may be coated with a finish that requires a quick wash to increase friction.
Outsole collecting debris.
Use a specialized rubber brush or a toothpick to gently clear the textured grip pattern of stones or mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs stay in prime condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to soften to your foot's shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the leather finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading over time.
- Moisture Control: If the interior becomes damp from perspiration, remove the laces and allow them to air-dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
