FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Samba OG has a regular fit. For specific concerns about wide feet, it's recommended to consult a sizing guide or try them on to ensure comfort.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes as it can damage the material and construction. Please refer to the care instructions for cleaning.

What type of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for general everyday wear and active play, including activities like walking, running, and playing in parks and playgrounds.

How do the elastic laces work?

The elastic laces are designed for easy slip-on and off, providing a secure fit without needing to tie traditional laces. They stretch to allow the foot to enter and then retract for a snug fit.

Is the OrthoLite sockliner removable?

The OrthoLite sockliner is integrated to provide comfort and support. Its removability is not explicitly specified in the product details, but it's designed to stay in place for consistent cushioning.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are made with a leather upper and are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light splashes but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty after outdoor play.

Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the gum rubber outsole, a small brush and mild soap can help remove stubborn dirt. Always air dry the shoes completely.

Child finds shoes difficult to put on/take off.

Ensure the elastic laces are fully loosened before attempting to put on or take off the shoes. Guide the child's foot in smoothly. The elastic design is intended for ease, but practice can help.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.

Check the child's sock thickness. The OrthoLite sockliner provides comfort, but ensure the shoes are not too tight or too loose. Verify the size is still appropriate as toddlers' feet grow quickly.

Elastic laces seem loose or stretched over time.

While elastic laces offer flexibility, ensure the shoe is not consistently overstretched during wear. Info needed: [Specific advice on tightening elastic laces or replacement options if provided by manufacturer].

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of the leather:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and scuffs. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner designed for footwear can be used, applied sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Gum Rubber Outsole: A brush and water with a small amount of mild soap can effectively clean the rubber sole.
  3. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or solvents, as these can strip the leather's finish and cause damage.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
