FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Samba OG Shoes are primarily designed for casual wear, school, and light play. They are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Adidas. It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth.
Can the elasticised laces be replaced?
While designed for ease of use, if the elasticised laces become worn, they can typically be replaced with standard shoelaces if a different closure is preferred.
What is the main benefit of the Ortholite sockliner?
The Ortholite sockliner provides superior cushioning and breathability, helping to keep feet comfortable and dry throughout the day.
How often should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture. A gentle wipe down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for regular maintenance.
Will the white leather stain easily?
White leather can be prone to staining. It's best to clean spills or marks as soon as possible with a damp cloth. Using a leather protector spray might offer some resistance.
What is the meaning of 'OG' in Samba OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original'. It indicates that these shoes are a faithful reissue or representation of the classic, original Samba design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure elasticised laces are loosened before putting the shoe on. The leather may also need a short break-in period.
Gum sole is scuffed
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a specialized shoe eraser. For deeper scuffs, accept them as part of the shoe's character or use a leather cleaner on the adjacent areas.
Leather appears dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for children's footwear using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
Shoe has an odor
Remove the sockliner and allow both the shoe and sockliner to air out completely. Using baking soda inside the shoe overnight can also help absorb odors. Regular airing after wear is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Simply ensure the elasticised laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit and the child can easily slip them on.
Compatibility: The Samba OG Shoes are designed for general wear and are compatible with most casual children's clothing and school uniforms. They are not specialized athletic shoes.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather upper, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet, away from direct heat. For the gum tooling and rubber outsole, a soft brush can help remove surface dirt.
