FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious sports?

While durable and suitable for 'kickabouts in the park' and everyday active wear, these Samba OG shoes are primarily designed for casual style and light recreational activities, not specialized sports performance.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the adidas sizing chart for kids. These shoes are available in standard UK kids' sizing.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

The leather upper provides some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the leather and maintain their appearance.

What is the OrthoLite sockliner?

The OrthoLite sockliner is an advanced insole technology that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management for enhanced comfort inside the shoe.

How often should I clean the shoes?

Regular cleaning, especially for white leather, is recommended as needed. For daily dirt, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient. More thorough cleaning can be done periodically based on usage.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Samba OG has a regular fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the shoes are the correct size. Leather can take a short period to break in, so wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to the foot. Check if socks are too thick.

White leather gets dirty easily

Clean regularly with a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Consider applying a leather protector spray to help prevent stains.

Gum sole losing its grip

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Use a brush and mild soap.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot, especially during active play.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Samba OG shoes:

  • Cleaning Leather:
  1. Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow product instructions.
  3. Wipe away cleaner residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning Gum Sole:
  1. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap with water to scrub off dirt and grime.
  2. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as leather needs to breathe.
