FAQs
Are Adidas Samba OG shoes true to size?
Most users find that the Samba OG fits true to size, though the slim profile may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Clean by hand only.
What is the purpose of the long tongue?
The long tongue is a signature design element from the original 1950 football shoe, originally intended to protect the instep.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Samba OG is a low-profile flat shoe. If you require significant arch support, you may consider swapping the standard insole for an orthopedic replacement.
Are these suitable for running?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption required for long-distance running or high-impact exercise.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede toe area
Use a specialized suede brush or a pencil eraser to gently lift dirt from the fibers without damaging the material.
Creasing in the leather upper
This is normal for high-quality leather. To minimize, use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.
Interior odor
Remove the OrthoLite insole, wash it separately if necessary, or use a deodorizing spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance of the premium leather and suede upper.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, especially on the suede toe area. For the leather panels, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discoloration.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove the OrthoLite insoles to let them air out, which keeps the interior fresh and hygienic.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or athletic shorts due to their slim, low-profile silhouette.
