adidas Originals Samba OG - Black - Low Shoes - UK 3.5

The adidas Originals Samba OG is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

The basketweave upper provides a textured, breathable finish, making it ideal for warmer weather. Traditional Samba models often feature smooth leather or suede uppers.

While the gum outsole provides some grip, the textile and leather upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Apply a small amount of cleaner to the cloth and gently wipe the leather areas. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape. Keeping them in their original box is also a good option.

Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It is generally recommended to check customer reviews for specific feedback on sizing for this model, or try them on in person if possible.

Ensure laces are loosened. Try wearing with thinner socks. If still tight after a few wears, consider if the size is appropriate. As they are made of leather and textile, they may offer some stretch over time.

Minor discolouration can sometimes be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialised rubber cleaner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling at snags, as this can worsen the damage. For significant snags, professional shoe repair may be an option.
