FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, their durable construction, comfortable fit, and classic style make them an excellent choice for daily school wear and playground activities.
Can my child play sports in these trainers?
While durable and comfortable for general active play, these are not specialized sports performance shoes. They are best suited for everyday wear and light activities rather than intense sports.
How do I ensure the leather lasts a long time?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and using a suitable leather conditioner periodically will help keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Avoid excessive exposure to water.
What is the OrthoLite sockliner?
The OrthoLite sockliner is an advanced insole technology that provides superior cushioning, moisture management, and breathability, ensuring lasting comfort for your child's feet.
Are these shoes true to size?
Adidas Originals Samba OG PS generally run true to size. We recommend checking adidas's official size guide for kids' footwear to ensure the best fit for your child's foot length.
Are they waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While it can withstand light splashes, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water should be avoided.
What is the recommended cleaning frequency?
Clean as needed based on use. For light dirt, a quick wipe down after each use is beneficial. A more thorough cleaning with leather specific products can be done every few weeks or months, depending on wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes look dirty or scuffed after play.
For light dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather cleaner or a specialist leather balm may help. For the rubber sole, use a damp cloth and a soft brush.
Laces keep coming undone during wear.
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. If this persists, consider replacing the laces with new ones or using elastic laces designed for kids.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Check your child's foot size against an adidas size guide. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness. Laces should be adjusted to provide a snug but comfortable fit, not overly tight.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes.
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner if possible and allow both the shoes and sockliner to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are changed daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Care
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: For everyday dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather, applied with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the gum rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
