FAQs
Do the adidas Samba OG run true to size?
Generally, the Samba OG fits true to size, though the narrow profile may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put my Samba OGs in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash them in a machine, as it can damage the leather and compromise the adhesives.
What is the best way to clean the white leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Are these suitable for sports?
While originally designed as indoor football shoes, the modern Samba OG is intended primarily as a lifestyle trainer.
Do the laces need special care?
The standard laces can be removed and hand-washed in warm water with mild detergent if they become discolored.
Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing on the toe box during early wear
This is common with leather trainers. Using cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes will help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty getting a comfortable fit initially
Wear them for short periods around the house with medium-thickness socks to gradually soften the leather before wearing them for long walks.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. For general care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the uppers and wipe the sole clean with a damp cloth. Because the trainers are primarily white, consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent upon purchase to protect the material from the elements. To maintain the shape of the shoe when not in use, store them in a cool, dry area and use shoe trees or paper stuffing to prevent creasing.
