FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the cushioning or support necessary for running.
How do I keep the blue details from fading?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the colored sections and store them out of direct sunlight.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made primarily of leather and are not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
Are these suitable for people with high arches?
Because they feature a flat insole, those with high arches might benefit from adding a supportive aftermarket orthotic insert.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather sneakers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain shape.
Dirt accumulation on the white leather
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of soap and water with a soft-bristled brush.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the flat laces are slipping, or replace them with a slightly textured lace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Samba OG trainers in pristine condition, regular care is essential, especially given the white colorway. Clean the leather surface using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material integrity. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing. Ensure you have the correct UK size, such as the 3.5 UK variant, to prevent unnecessary stretching of the upper material from an improper fit.
