FAQs
What is the main difference between this collaboration and a standard Samba?
The primary difference lies in the premium materials used, specifically the faux pony hair upper and luxury leather accents, along with the dual branding that signifies the Wales Bonner collaboration.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
These sneakers are designed primarily for lifestyle and fashion wear. While they offer comfort and traction for daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the faux pony hair material?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. For cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'Core Black' refer to in the product name?
'Core Black' typically indicates the primary color of the shoe, which is a deep black, used for the main upper material and overlays in this case.
Is the pony hair real?
No, the product description specifies 'faux pony hair,' meaning it is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look and feel of real pony hair.
What is the sole made of?
The shoe features a die-cut EVA foam midsole for cushioning and a gum rubber outsole for traction.
Where can I find other sizes?
The product may be available in other sizes. Please check the product listing or retailer's website for alternative size options, such as UK 7.5, UK 12, UK 13, UK 10, UK 11, UK 8.5, and UK 4.
Troubleshooting
Faux pony hair appears matted or dirty.
Gently brush the material with a soft-bristled brush to restore its texture. For stains, use a specialized faux fur cleaner or a very mild soap solution on a damp cloth, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Leather overlays show creases or scuffs.
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a shoe cream matching the black color. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Gum sole is discolored or dirty.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a paste of baking soda and water can be carefully used, followed by a wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
Laces are stained.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
