FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for adults?
No, the adidas Originals Samba OG GS are specifically sized and designed for 'Older Kids' (Grade School). While they share a similar appearance to adult Samba models, the sizing corresponds to children's foot sizes.
What does 'OG GS' stand for?
'OG' stands for Original, indicating that the design is a classic or heritage model. 'GS' stands for Grade School, signifying that the shoe is part of the youth/kids' sizing range.
Can these shoes be used for playing sports like soccer?
While the original Samba was designed for indoor football, this 'OG GS' version is primarily intended for casual everyday wear and light recreational activities. For competitive sports, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I know what size to order for my child?
The shoes are listed in UK children's sizing. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to adidas's official size chart for the most accurate fit, as children's sizes can vary.
What is an OrthoLite sockliner?
OrthoLite sockliners are known for providing long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. They help keep feet comfortable and dry, and are also antimicrobial to help prevent odor.
Is the leather waterproof?
The smooth leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but for wet conditions, we recommend treating the leather with a water-resistant spray designed for leather footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to break in and soften. You can also try wearing thicker socks during this period.
Leather upper is scuffed or scratched.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a small amount of leather conditioner or shoe polish matching the shoe's color can help reduce visibility. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be needed.
Gum rubber outsole is dirty and losing grip.
Clean the outsole regularly with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed, especially from the tread patterns, to restore optimal traction.
Laces constantly come untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot for added security. If the laces are old or frayed, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Samba OG GS shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe off loose dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- Dampen a cloth with mild soap and water, gently wipe down the leather surface.
- Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- For best results, occasionally apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.
- Cleaning the Gum Outsole:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the leather and sole.
