adidas Originals Samba - Infant - UK 4

These adidas Samba Crib shoes are designed for infants in the crib and pre-walking stages. While they offer good grip, they are best suited for indoor use or very light outdoor use on soft, clean surfaces, not for extensive or rugged outdoor walking.

Measure your infant's foot length from heel to the tip of the longest toe while they are standing (if possible) or with their foot flat. Compare this measurement to adidas's infant size chart. It's often recommended to size up slightly (a few millimeters) to allow for growth and comfort, but ensure they aren't so large as to cause tripping.

For the smooth white leather, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For the suede toe, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt. Specialized leather and suede cleaners can be used for tougher stains, following their specific instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

As a crib shoe designed for early developmental stages, these Samba Cribs feature a soft, flexible sole that promotes natural foot movement. They provide minimal arch support, which is typical and often preferred for infants' developing feet.

No, washing machine use is not recommended for these shoes, especially due to the leather and suede materials. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

The elastic laces are designed for convenience and a fixed snug fit, allowing the shoe to be slipped on and off easily. They are not designed for individual adjustment like traditional tied laces, but their elasticity helps accommodate the foot comfortably.

Ensure the elastic laces are snug but not too tight. While these shoes are designed for early stages where a perfect tight fit isn't always necessary, if slippage is excessive, double-check the sizing. Infants' feet grow quickly, so compare current foot measurements with the size chart.

This is common with active infants. Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth and gently brush the suede areas. For more persistent marks, refer to the 'Care' section for specific leather and suede cleaning tips.

First, ensure the shoes are not too tight or uncomfortable. Check for any seams or labels that might be irritating. If the fit is good, try making wearing shoes a positive experience by associating it with playtime or going outside (even just to the garden for a few minutes). Ensure socks are comfortable and fit well too.
