FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Samba OG generally have a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on in person if possible, as they might be snug.
How should I clean the white leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more persistent marks, a mild soap or leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always dry thoroughly.
What is the benefit of the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole provides flexibility for natural foot movement and offers good traction to help prevent slips, which is important for active children.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive components of the shoe.
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These are designed for infants and young children, specifically listed in kids' sizing, suitable for toddlers who are walking and active.
Do the laces actually tie?
No, these feature elasticated stretch laces designed for easy slip-on, combined with hook-and-loop straps for adjustment and security, rather than traditional tying laces.
What is the main difference between this and other Samba models?
This is an infant/kids' edition of the classic Samba OG, featuring design elements like stretch laces and hook-and-loop straps for ease of use, tailored for younger children while maintaining the iconic look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Loosen the hook-and-loop straps completely. Ensure the child's foot is properly aligned within the shoe before securing the straps.
Suede toe cap looks scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift and clean the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces seem too loose or too tight.
The stretch laces are designed for a comfortable fit. Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for the primary secure fit. If the laces are consistently an issue, consider replacing them with standard laces (if compatible) for a more customizable fit.
Child complains of discomfort.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Allow a short break-in period if the shoes are new.

Compatibility: The adidas Samba OG trainers are versatile and pair well with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and dresses.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and suede areas gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Protect suede areas from excessive moisture.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
