FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Based on standard adidas junior sizing, these shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of these adidas Originals Campus 00s Junior trainers is made from premium leather.

Can these be worn for sports?

While durable and comfortable for everyday movement, these trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance sports like running or basketball. Their construction is optimized for style and comfort in daily activities.

How do I clean the white rubber sole?

You can clean the white rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might damage the rubber.

Do I need to waterproof them?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, applying a suitable leather protector or waterproofing spray is recommended, especially if you plan to wear them in wet conditions. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the Campus 00s series known for?

The Campus 00s series is known for its classic, retro-inspired design, drawing inspiration from adidas' 1980s basketball shoe aesthetic. It features a chunkier silhouette and premium materials, offering a blend of vintage style and modern comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing; it might be too tight. Try loosening the laces, especially across the top of your foot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks that aren't too thick or thin. Allow for a short break-in period.

Leather looks dull or dirty.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to restore its luster. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole might help.

Sole is slippery.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. If the rubber tread is significantly worn down, it may indicate that the shoes are reaching the end of their usable life for optimal traction. Avoid walking on extremely smooth or wet surfaces if traction is compromised.

Creases forming in the leather.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing, and regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and reduce deep creases. Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day to allow them to air out and recover their shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Setting up your adidas Campus 00s trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and the padded ankle collar sits comfortably around your ankle.
  3. Break-in: Like most new shoes, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

They are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and are not intended for high-performance sports activities.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Campus 00s trainers:

  • Regular Cleaning:
  • Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to remove surface dirt.
  • For more stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub, and wipe clean.
  • Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove dirt and debris.
  • Drying:
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Stuff shoes with newspaper or shoe trees to help retain their shape during drying.
  • Protection:
  • Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Periodically condition the leather with a leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
  • Storage:
  • Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.

Avoid:

  • Machine washing or drying.
  • Using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Submerging the shoes in water.
