FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the low-profile fit may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I use these for running?
No, the SAMBA OG is a lifestyle fashion trainer and does not provide the cushioning or support required for running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and warm water to scrub the gum sole, then wipe dry.
Are these suitable for all weather?
They are best suited for dry conditions. Excessive exposure to water or snow may damage the materials.
Is the insole removable?
Most models feature a standard insole; however, check the specific pair to see if it is glued in place.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discolouration or hardening.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff out marks.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Sole grip feels slick on wet surfaces
Ensure the gum outsole is free from debris and avoid walking on slippery, polished surfaces during rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas SAMBA OG trainers last, follow these guidelines: For initial setup, wear them for shorter durations during the first week to allow the materials to break in to your foot shape. Regarding compatibility, these shoes are standard sizing; however, since they feature a slim silhouette, consider trying your standard size for a snug fit. Care is essential for the white variants: use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt after each wear and wipe the leather with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the leather or the gum sole adhesion.
