FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities or sports?

While the original Samba was an indoor football trainer, this 'Animal Print' edition is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. Its unique materials and design are best suited for casual use rather than performance sports.

How do I specifically clean the pony hair material?

To clean the pony hair, gently brush it with a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically formulated for delicate materials like suede or pony hair. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth and gently dab the affected area; do not apply directly to the shoe or scrub harshly.

Are these shoes true to size?

adidas Samba models typically feature a regular fit. It is generally recommended to select your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

What exactly is 'pony hair' in this context?

In footwear, 'pony hair' usually refers to cowhide leather that has been processed to retain its natural hair, giving it a distinctive textured and soft feel, often used for its unique aesthetic.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the pony hair and leather upper are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the materials. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What material is the lining made from?

These shoes feature a synthetic lining, providing comfort and breathability for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or losing its texture.

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., a suede brush) in the direction of the hair. This can help restore its natural texture and appearance.

Stains or dirt on the pony hair upper.

Use a specialized cleaner for delicate materials like suede or pony hair. Apply the cleaner sparingly to a clean cloth, then gently dab the stained area. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or saturating the material. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure laces are tied evenly, providing adequate snugness without discomfort. You might also consider trying different sock thicknesses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup & Compatibility Your adidas Samba OG Animal Print shoes come ready to wear. Simply adjust the lace closure to achieve your desired fit. Designed for adults, these shoes offer a regular fit typical of the Samba series. While listed under 'Female' gender, they can be styled and worn by anyone who appreciates their unique design and fit. ### Care To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your shoes, especially the unique materials, follow these care guidelines: 1. Pony Hair Upper: Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) in the direction of the hair to remove dust and loose dirt. Avoid harsh rubbing or scrubbing. 2. Leather Details: Wipe leather sections with a soft, damp cloth to clean. For tougher spots, a mild leather cleaner designed for finished leather can be used sparingly. 3. Stain Removal: For stains on pony hair, use a specialized cleaner for delicate materials (like a suede cleaner), testing on an inconspicuous area first. Apply the cleaner to a cloth, not directly to the shoe, and dab gently. Avoid saturating the material. 4. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. 5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect the pony hair from dust and friction.
