Adidas Samba OG W - Silver - UK 9.5

While the Samba has a rich history in indoor football, this specific 'OG W' model with a metallic cracked leather finish is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its rubber outsole provides good grip for daily activities and light kickabouts, but it's not engineered for high-performance sports.

The Adidas Samba OG W typically runs true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to the official Adidas size chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

The metallic cracked leather finish is designed to be durable for everyday wear. However, like all specialized finishes, it can be susceptible to scuffs or scratches from abrasive surfaces. Following the care instructions for cleaning and storage will help maintain its appearance.

The leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can potentially damage the leather and finish. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

These shoes feature a synthetic lining, which provides comfort and helps wick away moisture for a pleasant internal environment.

The Samba's design features a relatively flat sole, typical of its original indoor football heritage. While it offers good ground feel and flexibility, individuals requiring significant arch support might consider adding an aftermarket insole for enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.

'OG' stands for Original, signifying that this model stays true to the classic design elements and heritage of the initial Adidas Samba release, often with minor updates in materials or colorways.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. Regular cleaning and conditioning with a leather conditioner suitable for metallic finishes can also help keep the leather supple and reduce the prominence of creases.

Gentle buffing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth can sometimes restore luster. For minor scratches, consult a leather care specialist, as metallic finishes require specialized attention. Preventative care like avoiding abrasive surfaces and careful storage is key.
