Product Information
Full details
These Adidas Campus 00s trainers are designed for kids seeking a blend of retro style and modern convenience. The key benefit is the easy on-and-off elastic lace and hook-and-loop strap system, ideal for busy mornings. A potential consideration is that while the upper is suede, the description also mentions 'Leather Upper' as a material, which might require specific care. This guide covers their features, usage, and maintenance.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or puddles can damage the suede.
How do I adjust the fit?
The fit is primarily adjusted using the hook-and-loop strap. For a snugger feel, ensure the strap is firmly attached. The elastic laces provide a base fit but are not intended for significant adjustment.
What is the best way to clean the gum rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap to wipe down the gum rubber sole. Dry it thoroughly afterward.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material and construction. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the safest method.
What age group are these shoes intended for?
These shoes are designed for kids, featuring an easy-to-use closure system suitable for younger children learning to dress themselves.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the red variant, similar models in the Campus line are available in other colors like grey, green, pink, and black.
How durable is the suede upper?
The suede upper offers a classic aesthetic and is reasonably durable for everyday wear. However, like all suede, it requires proper care to maintain its appearance and longevity, and can be more susceptible to scuffs than synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully undone. Loosen the elastic laces by gently pulling the tongue forward. Once the foot is in, secure the strap firmly.
Suede looks dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.
Hook-and-loop strap loses its grip.
Clean both sides of the hook-and-loop fastener with a stiff brush or a damp cloth to remove lint and debris that might be preventing a secure closure.
Color transfer from suede.
This can occasionally happen with suede, especially when new or wet. Allow the shoes to dry completely. If it persists, consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. The elastic laces are pre-set, and the hook-and-loop strap allows for adjustable fit. Simply slip the foot in and secure the strap.
Compatibility: Suitable for children's everyday activities. They pair well with casual clothing. Not recommended for intense sports or activities that would heavily expose the suede to water or dirt.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: To clean the suede upper, use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the material. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Laces and Straps: Wipe the elastic laces and hook-and-loop strap with a slightly damp cloth if needed.
- Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before storage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and protect the material.
