FAQs
Are these shoes actually leather-free?
Yes, the adidas Samba Vegan is made entirely from synthetic materials and contains no animal-derived components.
How do these fit compared to standard Sambas?
They generally follow standard sizing, but because the upper is synthetic, it may feel slightly more rigid initially compared to traditional leather Sambas.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the sole.
Are they waterproof?
While the synthetic leather provides some water resistance, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged.
What is the best way to clean the gum sole?
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mix of water and mild detergent to scrub the gum sole, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the synthetic upper to naturally soften and contour to your foot.
Scuff marks on the synthetic leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, start by ensuring you have the correct fit; as they are adult-sized trainers, standard athletic socks are recommended. For ongoing care, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution to remove dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic materials or damage the adhesive in the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their structural integrity.
