FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While durable and comfortable for light activities and casual play, these Sambae Junior sneakers are primarily designed for everyday wear and style rather than intensive athletic sports. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

These are juniors' shoes, size UK 5. It's best to measure the wearer's foot length and compare it to adidas's official sizing chart for juniors to ensure the best fit.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather and synthetic materials can be damaged by machine washing. Please refer to the 'Product Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from a combination of genuine and synthetic leather, offering both durability and a premium look.

Is the sole slippery?

No, the shoes feature a grippy gum rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction on various common surfaces.

What is the difference between Sambae and the classic Samba?

The Sambae features a chunkier midsole for a smoother step and a more modern aesthetic, along with updated structures on the outsole, while retaining the classic Samba's signature details like the toe cap and serrated 3-Stripes.

How should I store these shoes?

Store your Sambae Junior sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace fastening. Ensure your foot is properly seated before tightening. If persistently uncomfortable, verify the size against a foot measurement.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or on certain surfaces. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction, or check if the laces are too tight.

Scuff marks on the leather

For light scuffs, use a clean, damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner may help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup Instructions

Wearing your Sambae Junior sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
  2. Gently guide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is properly seated.
  3. Tighten the laces, starting from the toe box upwards, to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. The padded collar will naturally conform to your ankle for support.
  4. Tie the laces securely.

Compatibility

These junior's sneakers are highly versatile, complementing a wide range of casual outfits such as jeans, shorts, skirts, and athletic wear. They are designed for kids in UK size 5. Their classic yet modernized design ensures they integrate well with various personal styles and wardrobes.

Product Care

To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your Sambae Junior sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the genuine and synthetic leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly and rubbing gently.
  • Avoiding Damage: Do not machine wash these sneakers, as harsh detergents and agitation can damage the leather and structural components. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators. Stuffing them lightly with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help retain their shape over time.
