Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing and Fit
The adidas Originals Junior Samba OG Trainers are available in junior UK sizes. To ensure the best fit, we recommend measuring your child's foot length and referring to the official adidas sizing chart. An ideal fit is snug but not restrictive, allowing for natural foot movement without excessive slipping. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
These trainers are compatible with standard junior athletic socks and casual wear. Their classic design makes them suitable for pairing with a wide range of clothing styles, from sportswear to smart-casual outfits, making them a versatile choice for any junior's wardrobe.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Samba OG trainers, especially the white leather and suede:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product instructions.
- Suede Care: The suede overlays require gentle care. Use a dedicated *suede brush* (or a soft-bristled brush) to gently remove dirt and help restore the nap of the suede. Avoid harsh rubbing or using liquid cleaners not specified for suede.
- Spot Treatment: For small stains, apply a specialist sneaker cleaner to a cloth and gently dab the affected area. For mud, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush it off before wiping.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or discolour.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for both leather and suede. This can help repel water and stains, which is particularly beneficial for lighter colors. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
