FAQs
What is the main material of these trainers?
The trainers feature a premium leather upper with a snakeskin pattern and brown leather accents.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they are comfortable for walking, these trainers are primarily designed for fashion and lifestyle wear, not for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the snakeskin pattern?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. For deeper cleaning, a leather cleaner formulated for delicate materials can be used cautiously.
What does 'co-branding' mean in this context?
Co-branding means that both adidas and Wales Bonner logos or branding elements are present on the product, signifying their collaborative effort.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of a durable gum rubber, providing traction and a classic aesthetic.
What UK sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with a protector, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffing or marks
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from setting.
Gum sole discoloration
Clean the gum sole with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the material.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and cool water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Fit feels too tight initially
Wear the trainers around the house with thin socks for a short period. Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot's shape over time.
