FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The primary material for the upper is suede, complemented by a natural rubber outsole and a synthetic insole.
Are these trainers suitable for professional handball?
These trainers are designed with heritage handball style in mind, offering comfort and grip for casual wear and light recreational activities. They are not intended for professional, high-intensity handball play.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive water exposure.
What does the '3-stripe branding' refer to?
The '3-stripe branding' refers to the iconic three parallel stripes that are a signature design element of adidas products, typically found on the side of the trainers.
Can I return these if the size on the box is different?
Yes, it is advised to try the footwear on first. The box or label may display US/Euro sizing which can differ from the UK size. If the fit is not right, you can return them following the standard return policy.
What kind of insole do they have?

Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Check the UK size indicated on the product label or tag. Note that the box or shoe may display US or EU sizing, which differs from UK sizing. Try the shoes on to confirm fit before returning.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, use a suede-specific cleaning product following its instructions.
Laces feel uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing pattern or tension. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause pressure. Consider replacing laces if they are worn out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied comfortably to avoid pressure points.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with most casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athletic wear. They are designed for adult use.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the suede upper, use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by brushing to restore the nap. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive water, as this can damage the suede. The rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
