FAQs

Is the adidas x Wales Bonner Samba true to size?

Yes, most users find the Samba series fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users size up by half.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While based on a classic soccer shoe, this version is a lifestyle iteration. The suede materials are not designed for the wear and tear of competitive sports.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a high-quality, non-silicone suede water-repellent spray before wearing them for the first time.

Does the orange color fade?

Like all dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store them in a dark, dry place.

Are the laces replaceable?

While any standard flat lace will fit, finding an exact color-matched replacement for the specialized Wales Bonner laces can be difficult.

Troubleshooting

Surface dust or lint accumulation

Gently brush the suede in one direction using a soft-bristled suede brush.

Water spots or light stains

Use a suede eraser to lightly buff the affected area until the mark lifts.

Lace tips fraying

Apply a tiny amount of clear nail polish to the ends to prevent further unraveling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, fashion-focused design by Wales Bonner
  • High-quality suede material construction
  • Unisex fit suitable for various foot shapes
  • Classic low-profile feel for comfortable daily wear

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Requires more frequent cleaning compared to full-leather trainers
  • Limited availability due to the nature of the collaboration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, focus on consistent care. Since the upper features suede, never submerge the shoes in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If a stain occurs, use a dedicated suede eraser rather than liquid cleaners. For storage, keep the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant orange pigment over time. If you notice the laces fraying, ensure they are handled gently, as the specialized multi-hued laces are unique to this model and difficult to replace with an exact match.
