adidas Samba Trainers - Black - Striped - UK 4

While durable, the adidas Samba Leather Trainers feature a NON MARKING gum rubber outsole specifically designed for optimal grip on all indoor surfaces. For the best performance and longevity, we recommend primarily using them indoors.

Gently wipe the white stripes and gold print with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't affect the print.

The 'NON MARKING' designation for the gum rubber outsole means that the sole is engineered to provide excellent traction on indoor surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks on floors, making them ideal for sports halls and gyms.

The die-cut EVA insole is designed for lightweight comfort and support. Info needed: [Confirmation on whether the insole is easily removable for custom orthotics without damaging the shoe's structure.]

adidas trainers generally run true to size. However, for juniors, we recommend referring to the adidas size chart and, if possible, measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit, especially considering growth.

No, we do not recommend machine washing these trainers. The leather and suede materials, as well as the adhesives, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and detergents. Always follow the specific care instructions for cleaning by hand.

Ensure the NON MARKING gum rubber outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth if necessary. Verify that the indoor surface itself is not excessively dusty or wet.

Adjust the frontal lace-up design. Make sure laces are evenly tightened across the foot, not too loose to allow movement, but not so tight as to cause pressure points. Re-check sizing to ensure it's appropriate for the wearer's foot.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to restore its nap and remove dry dirt. For light stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on suede.

Allow trainers to air out after each use. If the die-cut EVA insole is removable, take it out and allow both the insole and the shoe interior to air dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
