FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These adidas Originals Samba OG trainers are specifically designed for 'Younger Kids' and 'Juniors', available in a range of children's UK sizes.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
Yes, their durable construction, reinforced toe, and grippy gum sole make them suitable for general active play on playgrounds and light use on pitches. However, for specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might offer more specific support.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to adidas' size guide for junior footwear. Always try them on with socks and allow some room for growth, but ensure they are not so loose that their foot slides around.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided for cleaning.
What materials are used in these trainers?
They feature a soft leather upper with suede overlays, a synthetic lining, a lightweight EVA midsole, and a durable gum rubber sole. They also include an OrthoLite sockliner for added comfort.
Do these trainers offer good grip?
Yes, the durable gum rubber sole is designed to provide excellent traction and grip on various surfaces, making them safe and reliable for active children.
Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty quickly.
The white leather can show dirt easily. Regularly wipe down the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a soft brush. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for leather and suede.
Laces keep coming undone during play.
Ensure the laces are tied securely, possibly using a double knot for active children. Check that the laces are not too long for the trainer size, which can contribute to them coming undone.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
Verify the trainers are the correct size and fit; too small or too large shoes can cause discomfort. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thin or too thick). Allow for a brief break-in period if they are new, though these trainers are generally comfortable from the start.
Suede overlays look matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected area, lifting dirt and restoring the texture of the suede. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used very sparingly, followed by brushing once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.

Compatibility:

- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.

Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner to gently wipe down the white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Overlays: For the grey suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
- Sole: Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: Air dry trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary. Consider using a protective spray designed for leather and suede to help repel water and stains.
