FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the adidas Samba OG trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not for athletic running. They lack the specialized cushioning and support required for running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. They will mold to your feet over time.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
How often should I clean my Samba OG trainers?
It depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help. A more thorough cleaning with leather cleaner should be done as needed, perhaps every few weeks or when significant dirt accumulates.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the Samba OG series is available in a variety of colorways. The specific model in this guide is in Clay Brown Oat.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use, these trainers can last for several years. Lifespan varies based on frequency of wear, activity level, and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for leather shoes. To minimize the appearance, ensure you are wearing the correct size. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce creasing.
Gum sole becoming discolored
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized sole cleaner or a magic eraser can be used carefully.
Water staining on leather
If exposed to water, blot the excess moisture immediately with a dry cloth and allow to air dry. Apply a leather protectant spray regularly to help prevent water penetration.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Many shoe retailers offer replacement laces in various colors.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush, working in small circular motions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the gum sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the leather.
