FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic use?
While based on the original Samba indoor football trainer, this Wales Bonner edition is intended primarily for lifestyle and fashion use.
How do I clean the metallic leather?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water to gently wipe the exterior. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents.
What is the best way to prevent the silver finish from peeling?
Keep the shoes out of extreme heat and humidity, and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects.
Do these run true to size?
Generally, the Samba silhouette fits true to size, though the leather construction may feel slightly more structured initially compared to canvas sneakers.
Can I use a standard shoe polish on these?
No, standard colored shoe polish may alter or damage the unique metallic finish. Consult with a leather care specialist if the shoe requires professional restoration.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Apply leather conditioner sparingly to the area and use shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the leather structure.
Scuffs on the metallic finish
Use a specialized, gentle leather cream recommended for metallic finishes; test on a small, hidden area first before applying to the entire shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Samba Wales Bonner sneakers in top condition, focus on gentle care. Since the upper is made of specific metallic-finished leather, avoid using harsh brushes or chemical cleaners that might strip the sheen. Use a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. When not wearing them, store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the silver finish to fade or peel over time. To maintain shape, use cedar shoe trees or paper inserts when stored.
