Product Information

Full details

The adidas Samba Vegan Trainers in 'Black Gum' are designed for adults seeking a stylish and ethically-conscious footwear option. Their key benefit lies in being constructed from 100% non-animal components, offering a sustainable choice without compromising on the iconic Samba aesthetic. A potential caveat is the sizing, which may require careful attention to ensure the best fit. These trainers feature a light upper contrasted with a gum rubber sole, and the description mentions kangaroo leather for texture, which, in the vegan version, is replaced with appropriate vegan materials to achieve a similar look and feel.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, the adidas Samba Vegan Trainers are constructed using 100% non-animal components, including adhesives and dyes.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Gently wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.

What is the difference between this and the original Samba?

The primary difference is the material composition. The Samba Vegan uses only non-animal materials, while the original Samba may use animal-derived components like kangaroo leather.

Can I wear these for sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

What other sizes are available?

This specific listing is for UK size 3.5. Other sizes in the Samba Vegan series are available; please check the product listings for other options.

How is the durability of vegan leather?

The vegan leather used in these trainers is selected for its durability and ability to withstand regular wear, similar to conventional leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable, try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a break-in period.

Discoloration on the white upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid excessive rubbing which might spread the stain.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The gum sole offers good grip, but on exceptionally smooth or wet surfaces, caution is advised. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.

Care Instructions:
