FAQs

Are the Adidas Samba OG shoes suitable for athletic performance?

How do I clean the giraffe-hair (pony-hair) upper?

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush to remove dust. For cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for pony hair and a slightly damp cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid soaking the material.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the leather to naturally stretch. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.

Pony hair appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated pony hair cleaner and a damp cloth, following product instructions carefully.

Soles are dirty

Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Leather scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a cream polish in a matching or neutral color. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.
