Are these trainers suitable for professional handball games?

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for routine cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid water saturation and direct heat when drying.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The label shows a different size than I ordered (e.g., US/Euro). What should I do?

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect.

Double-check the UK size against the product label and any internal sizing charts. Try the shoes on with appropriate socks. If purchased online, consult the return policy for exchanges.

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth, working gently from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to dry and brush again.

Outsole grip is reduced.

Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
