Samba OG
Samba OG is true to size in length and runs narrow. Stay TTS if your feet are average. Half up mainly for width, not extra length — a longer Samba can still pinch. Leather needs a short break-in.

Adidas positions Samba as true to size with a regular-but-narrow fit; RunRepeat and wearer reports agree length is TTS while the toebox pinches wider feet. Stick to your usual size if narrow/average; go half up primarily for width, not length.

Samba OG sits on a flat indoor-soccer last. Length is usually fine at your Adidas size. The famous complaint is a skinny midfoot and T-toe, which is why “does Samba run small?” threads usually mean width, not a short labeled size.
| If you… | Buy |
|---|---|
| Have narrow or average feet | Same US size (TTS) |
| Have wide feet | Half up, or switch to Gazelle / Spezial |
| Wear Gazelle at US 9.5 | Samba 10 |
| Wear Ultraboost 1.0 at US 10 | Samba 10 — expect a narrower fit, same length |
| Are between sizes, average width | TTS, lace the top eyelets, let leather give |
The lab cut at US men's 9 on this page is 27.3 cm internal (273 mm), 91.2 mm forefoot, and 66.1 mm toebox. Length is not the problem: 27.3 cm is a normal sneaker cavity. The 66.1 mm toebox is the pinch. That is why the fit bar stays true to size for length while the verdict is Runs Narrow, and why the converter offset is +0 US.
Half up for width adds length more than it opens the T-toe. Average and narrow feet should stay true to size and let the leather vamp give. Wide feet should try on or move to a roomier terrace sibling rather than stacking half-up on a last that is still skinny.
Samba is typically the narrowest of Samba / Gazelle / Spezial. Lace the top eyelets for lockdown if you stay TTS. Nike Dunk or AJ1 US 10 is not automatically Adidas US 10 — convert by last, not by the number on the box.
