FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Karintha OG Shoes made of?

The shoes feature a leather upper, leather lining, and leather overlays, with a rubber sole.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended, followed by a conditioner.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

These are lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style, not for high-impact athletic activities. The rubber sole offers good everyday traction.

What is the significance of the Wales Bonner branding?

Wales Bonner is a British designer collaborating with adidas Originals. The co-branding signifies a unique partnership that blends cultural heritage with sportswear design.

How does the fit compare to standard adidas trainers?

Based on user feedback for similar collaborations, the fit is generally considered true to size for a trainer. However, slight variations can occur. It's advisable to consult sizing guides and consider the materials used.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some water resistance, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Using a leather water-repellent spray can offer additional protection.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions provided at the point of purchase or contact the retailer directly.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner.

Slight stiffness in the leather initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If the issue persists, consider a traction-enhancing product designed for shoe soles, though this may alter the shoe's aesthetic.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
