FAQs

Are the Adidas Samba OG trainers true to size?

Generally, the Samba OG trainers are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying a half-size up for a more comfortable fit.

Can I wear these trainers for running?

The Samba OG is primarily a lifestyle sneaker with roots in indoor football. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner is recommended, applied according to product instructions.

What is the main difference between Samba and Samba OG?

The Samba OG typically refers to reissues or models that closely follow the original design specifications and materials of the classic Samba, often featuring the gum sole and leather construction.

Are these suitable for indoor football?

While originally designed for indoor football, modern interpretations and materials may vary. For competitive indoor football, specialized sports shoes are generally recommended, but the Samba OG can be suitable for casual play.

What does 'Putty Grey/Red' refer to in the colourway?

This describes the main colours of the shoe. 'Putty Grey' is the primary colour of the upper, with 'Red' used for accents like the stripes and possibly other detailing.

Do these trainers come in different widths?

The standard Samba OG typically comes in a regular width. Wide-fit options are not commonly available for this specific model.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe lining. Try applying talcum powder under the insole or wearing thicker socks.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when not in use, and avoid over-tightening laces.

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Adidas Samba OG trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general wear and are compatible with most casual attire. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring specific footwear features.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the leather and suede. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially for the suede elements.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
