FAQs

Are Adidas Samba OG sneakers true to size?

Generally, Adidas Samba OGs are considered to run true to size, but some users find them slightly narrow. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these for sports or running?

While the Samba OG originated as an indoor football training shoe, it is now primarily designed for casual wear and street style. It does not offer the advanced cushioning, support, or ventilation required for modern athletic performance or running.

How do I protect the leather from water damage?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, for enhanced protection, you can apply a specialized leather protector spray. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the T-shaped toe box for?

The T-shaped toe box is a signature design element from the Samba's original football training roots. It provides reinforcement and durability in a high-wear area, while also contributing to the shoe's iconic aesthetic.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can easily swap them out for new ones if they get damaged or if you want to customize the look of your sneakers.

What's the difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?

The Samba OG specifically refers to the 'Original' version, closely mirroring the design and materials of the classic 1970s silhouette, including its leather upper and traditional gum rubber outsole. Other Samba models might feature different materials, updated designs, or specific collaborations.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or cracked.

Clean with a mild leather cleaner, then apply a quality leather conditioner. Repeat regularly to maintain suppleness.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole.

Shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable.

Leather shoes can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods at first, or consider a shoe stretcher. Ensure you purchased the correct size for your feet.

Outsole grip seems reduced.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be impacting traction.
