FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer good grip from the gum sole, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the animal pattern on the trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth for gentle cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could affect the finish of the animal print. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Generally, adidas Samba trainers fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the size chart and, if possible, try them on before purchasing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is advisable to use a leather waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

The upper of these adidas Originals Samba OG trainers is made of leather with a distinctive croc-effect (animal) pattern.
Are these trainers available in other colors or patterns?

What is the sole made of?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them around the house with thicker socks to gently stretch the leather. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Leather surface appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper scuffs, try a leather conditioner or cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole has stubborn marks.
Try using a magic eraser or a small amount of baking soda paste with a damp cloth. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
