adidas Samba OG - Wonder White/Shadow Red - UK 5.5

While the adidas Samba has roots in football, the current Samba OG is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It is not recommended for high-performance athletic activities or competitive sports, but rather for casual wear and street style.

The adidas Samba OG generally fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are unsure, you can refer to adidas's official size chart or try them on in-store if possible.

No, the adidas Samba OG shoes, with their leather and suede upper, are not waterproof. They offer limited resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the materials.

No, machine washing is not recommended for the adidas Samba OG. The leather and suede materials can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for best results and longevity.

Store your Samba OG shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.

Before initial wear, consider applying a reputable leather and suede protective spray designed to repel water and stains. Regular gentle cleaning with a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush for the toe cap will also help maintain their appearance.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. This typically resolves after a few wears.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the dirty or matted areas in one direction. For tougher dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on suede.

For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or polish in a matching colour can help to restore the finish. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Clean the sole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris from the grooves. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. This can restore some of its original traction and appearance.
