FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba OG is designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not engineered for the support and cushioning required for running.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart. Many users find they fit true to size, but some suggest going up half a size if you have wider feet.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?
The 'OG' designation typically refers to a more faithful reissue of the original design, often featuring premium materials and classic colorways. Specific differences can vary between models.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the leather and construction are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain without protection.
How long should the leather last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the premium leather upper can last for several years of consistent wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially, or use a shoe stretcher. The leather will naturally expand slightly with wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The gum sole provides good grip, but like all footwear, can be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure soles are clean.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes help buff them out.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Many sports or shoe stores carry replacements.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For suede accents, use a suede brush.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially if planning to wear them in variable weather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
