FAQs

Are the Adidas Samba OG trainers true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult a size chart and, if possible, try them on before purchasing. Many users find they fit true to size, but some prefer to go up or down half a size depending on foot width.

Can I wear these for running or intense sports?

The Samba OG is primarily a lifestyle shoe with enhanced cushioning. While suitable for light recreational activities, they are not designed for high-impact sports like running or basketball, which require specialized footwear for support and protection.

How should I clean the Collegiate Green leather?

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For dirtier areas, use a small amount of mild soap and water with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between this and older Samba models?

The main difference is the introduction of an updated midsole designed for maximum cushioning over long distances, offering a more comfortable experience for extended wear compared to the original, flatter construction.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Samba OG trainers are not waterproof. The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

What materials are the Samba OG made from?

The Samba OG features a leather upper, a rubber outsole, and textile lining. The specific composition of the midsole is designed for cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is normal with leather footwear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and allow shoes to air dry after use. Shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is new, break-in period may be needed. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed for extended standing.

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
