FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba OG typically features a standard fit and is generally true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.
Can I wear my Samba OGs in the rain?
While the leather and suede offer some natural resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials. A suitable protective spray can offer light water repellency.
How do I clean the white rubber outsole?
The white rubber outsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. For tougher scuffs, a soft brush or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution can be used. Wipe clean and air dry.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The adidas Samba OG features a relatively flat sole design, offering moderate arch support suitable for everyday casual wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, custom insoles may be considered.
What's the best way to store my Samba OGs when not in use?
Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any residual moisture, especially important for leather and suede.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if needed. You can choose laces of a similar length and width to refresh the look or customize your sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or has scuff marks.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
Leather upper looks dull or has minor scratches.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. For minor scratches, a leather conditioner or polish in a matching color can help restore the finish. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, then replacing the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Shoes feel tight after a long day.
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly. Consider wearing thinner socks or taking a break from the shoes if prolonged wear causes discomfort. Leather and suede will naturally break in over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your adidas Samba OG is straightforward:
- Lacing: Untie the laces and put your foot into the shoe. Adjust the laces to your preferred tightness. The standard fit is designed to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to prevent discomfort.
- Initial Wear: Wear your new Sambas around the house for a short period to allow the leather and suede to mold to your feet.
Compatibility
The adidas Samba OG is celebrated for its versatility:
- Outfits: This sneaker pairs effortlessly with a vast range of casual and smart-casual attire. Think jeans, shorts, chinos, track pants, and even some lightweight suiting or trousers for a modern, relaxed look.
- Colors: The "Collegiate Green" colorway with cream accents is highly adaptable. It complements neutral tones like black, white, grey, and beige, as well as earthy shades and navy blue.
- Seasons: Ideal for spring, summer, and autumn, the low-profile design is breathable, though it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your leather and suede Samba OGs:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the leather and suede with a soft-bristled brush or specialized suede brush.
- Spot Cleaning (Leather): For marks on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Wipe gently and then clean with a separate damp cloth. Pat dry immediately.
- Spot Cleaning (Suede): For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. A suede eraser can help with scuffs.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can crack leather or stiffen suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before initial wear and periodically thereafter. This helps guard against moisture and dirt.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
