FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Karintha Wales Bonner generally follows standard adidas sizing, but the slim silhouette may lead some users to prefer a half-size up for extra room.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for fashion and casual walking, not for athletic performance or running.
How do I best clean the black upper?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and a slightly dampened cloth for spot cleaning; avoid soaking the materials.
Is the material waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
What is the inspiration behind this collaboration?
The Wales Bonner collaboration is known for blending archival adidas styles with cultural references and elevated craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too narrow across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on, then re-tighten starting from the bottom to adjust the tension more evenly.
White accents showing scuff marks
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a gentle shoe-cleaning solution specifically formulated for footwear, applying it with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outings to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or structural stress.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might affect the integrity of the black base or the white accents.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lacing system. If you find the fit too snug, try experimenting with different lacing patterns, such as the 'parallel' method, to reduce pressure across the midfoot.
