FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Adidas sizing can vary. It is highly recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the official adidas size chart for the most accurate fit. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the shoe's end.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainer. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner is the best approach.
What is the best way to clean the dark green leather?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner applied to a clean cloth. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
While durable for active play and general use, these Campus 00s PS trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. For specialized sports that require specific support and cushioning, dedicated athletic footwear would be more appropriate.
What kind of socks should my child wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, cotton or moisture-wicking athletic socks are recommended. Avoid overly thick socks that could make the shoe feel tight or thin socks that might cause rubbing.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Campus 00s PS features a standard flat rubber sole, which is typical for heritage-style trainers. While comfortable for most children, if your child requires specific arch support, consulting with a podiatrist for suitable insoles or orthotics is advisable.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, which provides reliable traction and contributes to the longevity of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Double-check the sizing against your child's current foot measurements and the adidas size chart. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin). Adjust the lace tension for a more customized and comfortable fit.
Laces frequently come untied during wear.
Teach the child how to tie a double knot, which provides greater security. Alternatively, consider replacing the laces with slightly longer or more textured ones that may offer better grip and resistance to untying.
Leather appears dull, scuffed, or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Then, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or shoe polish specifically designed for dark green leather. Gently buff to restore luster and moisture. For deep scuffs, a leather repair pen might be considered.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and ensuring all components are completely dry before reinserting. If the sound persists, inspect the outsole for any loose parts or consult the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Loosen them, have your child insert their foot, and then tie them securely but not too tightly. A double knot is recommended to prevent untying during play.
- Fit Check: With your child wearing the socks they typically use, check the fit. There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the sides are snug but not pinching.
Compatibility
- Apparel: These trainers are designed for casual wardrobes, pairing seamlessly with jeans, shorts, leggings, tracksuits, and other everyday children's clothing.
- Activities: Ideal for daily walking, playing, school, and general casual wear. They are not intended for high-performance sports that require specialized athletic footwear.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying a small amount to a clean cloth.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, which can damage or dry out the leather.
- Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water if they become heavily soiled.
- Storage: When not in use, store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray periodically to guard against water and stains, extending the life and appearance of the shoes.
