FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the adidas Samba OG PS shoes are highly suitable for everyday school wear. Their durable construction, comfortable OrthoLite sockliner, and classic style make them a great choice for active kids throughout the school day.

Do these shoes come with both elastic and regular laces?

The product description mentions 'elastic or regular laces for easy, versatile usage on smaller feet.' This typically means that the shoes will come with one type of lacing system, or offer the option to switch between the two if both are included. Please check the specific packaging for confirmation.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, these shoes are made of leather and should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the recommended manual cleaning instructions.

Are these Sambas waterproof?

The adidas Samba OG PS shoes are not waterproof. While the leather provides some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided.

How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?

These shoes are in UK children's sizing. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a standard adidas size chart, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit with adequate room for growth (about a thumb's width at the toe).

What kind of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are versatile and best suited for casual everyday wear, playground activities, light sports, and street use. Their durable construction makes them ideal for running, playing, and general active use by children.

Troubleshooting

Shoes getting dirty easily during play.

Regularly wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild leather cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water, then wipe clean and air dry. Consider applying a leather protector spray to minimize future staining.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. If the shoes came with elastic laces, ensure they are properly adjusted for a snug fit. If using traditional laces, you might consider alternative lacing techniques for better hold.

Child complains of discomfort after wearing.

Check if the shoes are the correct size; feet grow quickly. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks. Verify that the OrthoLite sockliner is properly seated inside the shoe and not bunched up. Allow some break-in time for new shoes.

Sole appears to be losing grip.

Clean the rubber gum sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be affecting traction. Use a stiff brush and water. If the sole is excessively worn smooth, it may be time for a new pair.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather adidas Samba OG PS shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner or a small amount of mild soap diluted in water.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. This can also make future cleaning easier.
  4. Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber gum sole with a brush or damp cloth to maintain grip and prevent dirt buildup.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
