FAQs

How do I clean my adidas Originals Samba OG shoes?

For leather uppers, wipe with a soft, damp cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner. For the rubber sole, a brush with mild soap and water works best. Always air dry away from heat.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

The Samba OG is ideal for casual wear and light activities like walking or urban exploration. While they have an athletic heritage, they are not designed for high-performance sports requiring specialized cushioning or support.

What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?

'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this version is a direct reissue or closely inspired by the original design and specifications of the classic adidas Samba shoe.

What is the fit like for the Samba OG?

The Samba OG features a regular fit. It's recommended to choose your standard size. The lace closure allows for adjustable tightness to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

Are the shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend using a leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance, especially in wet conditions.

Can I wear these shoes in winter?

While the leather upper offers some protection, the Samba OG is not specifically designed for harsh winter conditions. For very cold or snowy weather, consider footwear with more insulation and aggressive traction.

How durable is the rubber gum sole?

The rubber gum sole is known for its durability and excellent traction. With proper care and typical casual use, it is designed to last and maintain its grip over time.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the white leather.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner or conditioner applied sparingly with a clean cloth.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then replace the insole.

Loss of traction on certain surfaces.

While the gum sole offers good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or extremely smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.

  • Seasonal Wear: Suitable for year-round wear, though specific care for leather is recommended in wet conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Samba OGs.

  • Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Spot Cleaning: For the rubber sole, use a mild soap and water solution with a brush to remove grime.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage leather.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip natural oils from the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
