FAQs

Are these shoes truly 100% vegan?

Yes, the Adidas Originals Samba Vegan are constructed using only non-animal components, including all adhesives and dyes, ensuring they are completely vegan.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Adidas sizing chart, usually available on the brand's website or the retailer's product page. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The size listed is UK sizing.

Can I wear these for sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and a classic look, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activities.

How does vegan leather compare to real leather?

Vegan leather aims to replicate the look and feel of traditional leather using synthetic or plant-based materials. It is generally easier to clean but may require specific care to maintain its texture and durability over time compared to some types of real leather.

What is the 'Black Gum' colorway?

This refers to the combination of a predominantly black upper with a distinctive gum rubber sole, creating a classic and stylish contrast.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Adidas offers the Samba silhouette in various colorways. The 'Black Gum' is one specific option within the vegan range, and other variations may exist.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder or cornstarch) into the shoe or between the tongue and laces to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Discoloration of white areas

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized shoe cleaner for vegan materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The gum rubber sole provides good traction, but like all rubber soles, grip can be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply unbox and wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, designed for general casual use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
