adidas Samba OG - White - Size 11 UK

No, the adidas Samba OG Kids' Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday activities. While durable, they do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or grip required for high-performance sports like football or running. For sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.

The product is listed in children's UK sizes. We recommend measuring your child's foot length and referring to the official adidas size chart, which is typically available on the product page or adidas's website, to find the most accurate fit. Always allow a little extra room for growth, but ensure they are not too loose.

No, it is strongly advised not to put these leather and suede trainers in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, alter their shape, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

For light scuffs on white leather, a clean, damp cloth might be sufficient to buff them out. For more noticeable scuffs or marks, you can use a small amount of white leather cleaner or shoe cream designed for leather footwear. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

The gum rubber sole unit provides good everyday traction for typical casual surfaces. While it offers reliable grip, it's important to note that no shoe is completely slip-proof, especially on extremely wet, icy, or oily surfaces. Always exercise caution in slippery conditions.

For best results and to maintain their appearance, we recommend wiping down the trainers after each significant wear to remove loose dirt. A deeper clean for the leather and suede components can be done as needed, typically once every few weeks or whenever visible dirt or stains appear.

For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. Regular cleaning after each use prevents dirt build-up.

Check the gum rubber sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to restore traction. If worn smooth, the grip may be permanently reduced.

Ensure the trainers are the correct size (refer to size guide if unsure). Check if laces are tied too tightly or too loosely. Break-in new shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For discolored spots, a suede eraser can often lift marks. Avoid getting suede wet.

Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
