Full details
The adidas Originals Samba OG is designed for adults seeking a versatile, low-profile trainer that bridges the gap between athletic heritage and everyday street style. Featuring a durable leather construction and a reliable rubber outsole, these trainers offer long-lasting comfort for daily wear, ranging from casual outings to active days. While they provide excellent style and grip, potential owners should note that the low-profile design offers less arch support compared to dedicated performance athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Samba OG has a relatively slim, low-profile fit. While the leather will soften over time, those with wider feet may find the standard width snug and might prefer sizing up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid the washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant to a degree, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water spots and potential leather damage.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, as with most leather footwear, they will feel most comfortable after a few days of wear as the leather conforms to the shape of your foot.
Are these suitable for sports?
While they originated as sports shoes, the modern Samba OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
The leather is becoming stiff.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to soften the material and restore flexibility.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set if the factory laces are too slick.
Soles are picking up dirt/pebbles.
Use a soft brush to clear out the treads on the rubber outsole to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Samba OG trainers, ensure you choose the correct UK size, as the low-profile construction can feel snug. If you plan to wear thicker socks, consider this when assessing the fit.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove dust and debris.
- For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
- Keep the trainers away from excessive heat or direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause the leather to crack.
- Use a dedicated leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent creases from deepening.
