FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft, damp cloth to protect the leather and decorative charms.
Are the laces functional?
The laces are elasticized for convenience, meaning they do not need to be tied and provide a snug, flexible fit.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the Samba OG is relatively slim; however, the elastic laces provide some stretch to accommodate different foot shapes.
Can the lace charm be removed?
Yes, the lace charm can be removed if desired, though it is a key feature of the Care Bears design.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable leather, complemented by a soft textile lining for internal comfort.
Is the outsole non-marking?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction, though it is always best to test on sensitive indoor flooring if you are concerned about marks.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too loose
Ensure the tongue is properly centered; if the fit remains loose, check if the child is between sizes.
Scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly dampened microfiber cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully upright when sliding the foot in to avoid collapsing the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box with no complex setup required. To maintain the appearance of your Samba OGs, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather upper and remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the adhesive. When cleaning the lace charm, remove it carefully if possible to prevent snagging on clothing or getting lost. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the purple and white colourway looking fresh.
