FAQs
Is the adidas Samba OG true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and do not provide the stability or impact protection required for running.
Are the materials waterproof?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
How do I lace them for a classic look?
Standard cross-lacing is the traditional method for the Samba, keeping the laces snug but not overtightened.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed with specific gender attributes, the design is highly versatile and frequently worn by all genders.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper developing deep creases
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its original shape.
Suede T-toe looks dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture.
Outer sole losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dirt and debris that can reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly rigid initially. Wear them for short durations with medium-thickness socks to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape naturally.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For the leather upper, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- T-Toe Maintenance: The suede T-toe is sensitive to liquids. Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and keep the nap looking fresh.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the colors from fading.
