adidas x Wales Bonner MN Samba - Silver - Animal - UK 10

While drawing inspiration from football heritage, the adidas x Wales Bonner MN Samba shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear due to their unique materials and detailing. We do not recommend them for high-performance athletic activities or sports.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, prevent creasing, and absorb moisture from the interior, especially beneficial for the leather elements.

Generally, adidas Samba models tend to fit true to size. However, given the premium materials, a slight break-in period might be beneficial. For the most accurate fit, we recommend consulting adidas' official sizing guide if available, or trying them on if possible.

The leather and metallic finishes are not designed to be waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or excessive moisture should be limited to prevent potential damage, staining, or alteration of the material. If they do get wet, gently pat them dry with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry naturally.

With proper care and gentle use, the metallic and embossed patterns are designed to be durable for lifestyle wear. However, like all delicate finishes, they are susceptible to scratching or abrasion if not handled carefully. Avoid scuffing and use appropriate cleaning products to preserve their appearance.

Gently clean the metallic surface with a soft, damp cloth and a specialized metallic leather protector or cleaner. Avoid rubbing vigorously on scratched areas, as this can worsen the damage. Consider applying a very thin layer of metallic leather polish if recommended by the product manufacturer.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for exotic or premium leathers to moisturize and restore flexibility. Always test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not alter the color or texture.

Squeaking in new shoes can sometimes be caused by friction between parts. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole, or around the edges where the sole meets the upper. Ensure the sole is dry and free of debris.

Ensure you are using a proper knotting technique, such as a double knot, for better security. If the laces are slippery, you might consider replacing them with laces made of a different material (e.g., cotton) that provides more friction.
