FAQs
Are the adidas Samba OG shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider going up half a size for extra room.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to surface cleaning with a damp cloth.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree but not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water spots and potential leather damage.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of high-quality, durable rubber designed for traction and longevity.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Samba OG features a flat, minimalist midsole. While comfortable for daily use, those requiring specific orthotic support may benefit from adding an aftermarket insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too stiff during the first wear
Leather shoes typically require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
Accumulation of dirt in the gum sole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the tread patterns of the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs stay in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are kept snug but not over-tightened to maintain the structural integrity of the eyelet area.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; they are best paired with casual denim, chinos, or athletic joggers.
