Are these trainers suitable for sports?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
Gum sole is discolored or marked
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser may be effective, but use gently and test in an inconspicuous spot first.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Wearing them with socks can also help to soften the leather lining and upper.
Water damage to suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future water damage.
