FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for running?
No, the Karintha Wales Bonner series is designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose debris. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede leather.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Karintha series generally follows standard adidas sizing, but individual foot shape can affect the fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Exposure to water can stain the suede and alter its texture permanently.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which provides the distinctive premium finish of this collaboration.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt accumulation on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry crepe eraser to gently lift dirt from the fibers.
Water spots on the material
Dab the area with a slightly damp cloth to even out the moisture, then let it dry naturally without using heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the shoe is crafted from suede, it is essential to treat it with a suede-appropriate water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. To keep them looking fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown pigments over time. Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this will damage the texture and color of the suede. If they become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from heat sources.
