FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Generally, adidas Samba sneakers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying your usual UK size first.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof, especially the pony hair-effect sections. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as it can damage the materials. Use a water and stain protector for light moisture.
How often should I clean them?
Regular light cleaning after a few wears will help maintain their appearance. For deeper cleaning, do so as needed when visible dirt or stains appear, especially on the white and pony hair surfaces.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
No, while the Samba has a rich football heritage, the modern OG version is designed for casual wear and fashion. It is not engineered for high-performance sports or intense physical activities.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
These sneakers feature a `leather upper` with a `pony hair-effect` finish, `leather lining`, `lace closure`, and a `rubber outsole`.
How do I protect the white color from yellowing?
Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt buildup that can lead to discoloration. Using protective sprays can also help.
Troubleshooting
Stains or dirt on the pony hair-effect upper.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) in the direction of the hair. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, then brush dry.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather with a suitable leather cleaner and then apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore its luster and moisture. Ensure conditioner is suitable for the specific leather type.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing.
Samba sneakers, like many leather shoes, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your adidas Samba OG W Sneakers, especially with the `pony hair-effect` leather.
- Initial Protection: Apply a suitable leather and suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For the `leather upper` (non-pony hair parts), gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For the `pony hair-effect` sections, use a soft brush (like a suede brush) to remove dust and dirt, always brushing in the direction of the hair. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For pony hair, a gentle spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (test in an inconspicuous area first) may be necessary, followed by brushing.
- Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes on the pony hair-effect material.
