$75Alpine Silver
Our Alpine Sabahs walk a fine line between sophisticated & eccentrically cool, and they are now available for kiddos! The metallic leather is sourced from a small tannery in Istanbul that specializes in high end foiled materials. Metallic silver is not an easy color to get right, but we (humbly) think that we’ve nailed it with these — soft to the touch & truly eye-catching, these Sabahs have a resilience to them not found in most other metallics you will see out there.

dealer's notes
With time and wear, some surface finishing might fade or rub away. This is the nature of metallic leathers.

Your Questions Answered
How do I determine the best size for Kids' Sabahs?
Our Kids' Sabahs are true to size.
We recommend selecting the numerical size that directly corresponds to their typical Toddler/US shoe size in the drop down menu on each specific product page.
For the best possible fit, you can take a measurement of your little one's foot (in CM) & compare that to the measurements column on the size chart.
How should their pair fit?
For an ideal fit, their Sabahs should initially feel a little snug - they are made entirely of natural leather and will stretch and form to their feet with wear.
The toes should touch the end of the pair with some pressure; however, they should not be curling.
It typically takes 3-5 good wears for their Sabahs to begin notably stretching & relaxing throughout.
Can I return their pair for refund, credit, or an exchange?
Of course!
We happily accept all returns on NEW & UNWORN Sabahs & Babas. Please, visit our Returns page for more information & to initiate a request.
We also offer FREE returns for new & unworn orders placed in the US within 30 days of receipt.
Can I resole Kids' Sabahs?
Yes -- the rubber outsoles on your Sabahs protect the traditional leather sole underneath, and they can easily be replaced by any cobbler. You should pay attention to the rubber soles, particularly around the heel, to make sure they do not wear away before being replaced. This can expose the leather sole and result in damage. We recommend seeking service within 12-24 months of wear, as needed.
Our Backless Babas do not include a set of rubber outsoles & are not able to be resoled. However, you can (and should!) still wear them out & about just like a pair of Sabahs. The Babas outsoles are extremely durable.
For any resole & maintenance related questions, please consult your local cobbler or email us at portal@sabah.am.
What is the protective outsole made of?
The rubber that we use for the outsoles of our Sabahs is Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). We use this soft and thin rubber as to not impede the leather sole from forming to your feet.
Some of the salient features exhibited by TPR include flexibility, good tear resistance, reusability, recyclability, and good abrasion resistance.
These outsoles are added to every pair of Sabahs with a combination of heat, glue and pressure, and are intended to protect the stitching and true soles underneath.
How do I care for their Sabahs?
To best care for your Sabahs, we suggest you clean them as they get dirty and condition them periodically, or as they appear dry, with a high quality leather conditioner.
We produce our own Sabah leather conditioner & cleaner, which you can find on the Sabah Market page. Cleaning and conditioning your pair will help maintain the texture and beauty of the leather.
SUEDE/NUBUCK:
You should avoid applying topical products to suede or nubuck -- doing so will disrupt the fibers and matte the suede. Use a brush to care for your suede or nubuck Sabahs. We highly recommend consulting a local cobbler if your suede or nubuck Sabahs require cleaning/conditioning.
For any unique cleaning & care questions, we advise connecting with your cobbler or sending us an email at portal@sabah.am.
