FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for playing football or other sports?
While the Samba silhouette has roots in football, the adidas x Wales Bonner MN Samba is designed as a fashion and lifestyle sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance sports due to its premium materials and design focus on aesthetics rather than athletic functionality.
How do I prevent the suede from getting wet and stained?
It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather before your first wear. Reapply periodically according to product instructions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the best way to clean the embossed crocodile-textured leather?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe the embossed leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for footwear, applied with a clean cloth. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Generally, adidas Samba sneakers are considered to run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is strongly discouraged. The mixed materials, especially suede and leather, can be severely damaged by machine washing, leading to discoloration, shrinkage, and material degradation. Always hand clean with appropriate care products.
Is the gold color prone to fading?
Like any colored material, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause gradual fading over time. To preserve the vibrancy of the gold and yellow, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede eraser or cleaner following product instructions.
Leather has scuffs or dull spots
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, use a leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the leather color, applying sparingly with a clean cloth.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. If consistently uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. The Samba fit is generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary.
Sole is dirty or slippery
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the tread is clear of debris. For slippery soles, check for wear and tear; if significant, professional repair might be needed.

Care
Due to the premium and mixed materials (suede and leather), proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers.
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the leather. Follow with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): Use a suede cleaner and brush. Follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain suede.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, act quickly. Use appropriate leather or suede stain removers, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray (suitable for both leather and suede) to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes on either material.
