FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
The adidas Wales Bonner MN Samba Gold shoes feature genuine leather uppers and leather lining, complemented by durable rubber soles. They also incorporate metallic and crocodile skin textured finishes.
How do I clean the metallic and textured leather?
For general cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more specific care, always refer to the product label. It is recommended to use a specialized leather cleaner and protector for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or adverse weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and its unique finishes. Applying a water-resistant leather protector is recommended.
What is the sizing like for these shoes?
adidas Samba models generally fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure comfort, as leather can break in slightly over time.
Can I use regular shoe polish on these shoes?
No, regular shoe polish is not suitable for metallic or textured leather finishes. It can dull the metallic effect or damage the texture. Only use products specifically designed for these types of materials, or consult a professional.
What occasions are these shoes best for?
These shoes are perfect for elevating casual ensembles, suitable for nights out, social gatherings, daily wear, and any occasion where you want to make a stylish statement with a touch of luxury.
How can I prevent creasing in the leather?
While some creasing is natural with leather shoes, you can minimize it by using shoe trees when not wearing them. Avoiding overtightening laces and choosing the correct size can also help.
Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched
Gently clean with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scratches, a specialized metallic leather repair cream or polish can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Use thick socks if necessary during this period.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.
Stains on the leather material
For general stains, clean immediately with a damp cloth. For oil-based stains, a specialized leather degreaser may be needed, following product instructions carefully. For deep or set-in stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the unique metallic and crocodile skin textured leather. Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions, as these may vary. General leather care tips include:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for metallic or textured leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality leather protector spray suitable for metallic finishes to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
