Full details

The key benefit is a fashionable sneaker made entirely from non-animal components, making it an ethical choice without compromising on aesthetics. A potential caveat is that 'vegan' materials may require specific care to maintain their appearance over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, the adidas Samba Vegan Shoes are constructed using only non-animal components, including all adhesives and dyes.

How do I clean the vegan leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth.

What is the main difference between these and the original Samba?

The primary difference is that the Samba Vegan uses exclusively non-animal materials, while the original Samba may use animal-derived components.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they feature the iconic Samba silhouette known for its sporty origins, these vegan versions are best suited for casual wear due to their construction and intended use.

How durable is the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday wear. Like any outsole, excessive wear and tear can affect its longevity.

What UK shoe size is this product?

This specific product listing is for a UK size 12. Other sizes may be available in different listings.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration of vegan leather

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shoes are dried properly after cleaning.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can occasionally happen with new footwear. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it persists. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the squeak is internal.

Gum sole scuffing

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a clean eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the gum.
