FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?
While the Samba OG has roots in football, this metallic cracked leather edition is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. It's suitable for light recreational activities like 'kickabouts' but not recommended for high-performance sports due to its fashion-oriented material and design.
How do I clean the metallic cracked leather without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes to the cloth, then gently wipe the shoe. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is the sizing true to size?
The adidas Samba OG generally offers a regular fit. As this is a UK 13, which is a very large size for women's footwear (as specified in the product description's mention of 'Womens Samba OG'), it's recommended to consult the official adidas size guide to ensure the best fit, especially if you are accustomed to different sizing conventions.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the metallic finish and the leather material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
How can I maintain the shine of the metallic finish?
Regular gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and applying a protector spray designed for metallic leather can help preserve the shine. Store them in a dust bag or box to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
Are these shoes made from real leather?
Yes, these adidas Originals Samba OG shoes feature a genuine metallic cracked leather upper, providing a premium feel and distinctive look.
Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner designed for metallic finishes. To minimize future scuffs, apply a protective spray and store shoes carefully.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Soles become slippery
Ensure the rubber gum sole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce traction. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. If worn smooth over time, consider if the shoes are still safe for your intended use.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the metallic cracked leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh brushes or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For tougher spots, a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray designed for metallic finishes to help repel water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your Samba OGs in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid cramming them in tight spaces to prevent scuffing the metallic surface.
