FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, the 'Core Black' model is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. It may not offer the specialized support and durability required for competitive play.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first and avoid soaking the material.

What is the best way to maintain the rubber sole?

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure it is dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

What kind of outfits do these shoes pair well with?

They pair excellently with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and t-shirts, as well as more retro-inspired ensembles, vintage tracksuits, and casual trousers.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in wet conditions to protect the material.

What does 'Core Black' refer to in the product name?

'Core Black' refers to the primary color of the shoe, which is a deep black. The contrasting red three stripes are a secondary color element.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced traction on the rubber sole

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the sole appears worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement shoelaces.
