FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of suede, providing a classic and durable finish.
Is this trainer suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not professional athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
What does 'regular fit' mean?
Regular fit indicates a standard width and volume, designed to be comfortable for most adult foot shapes.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and adhesives, affecting the shoe's structure and appearance.
The box shows a different UK size, what should I do?
Refer to the actual size label on the shoe or the product description. Shoe boxes may display various international sizing conversions (US, EU, JP) which can differ from the UK size.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of natural rubber, offering good grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, allowing to air dry completely.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Discoloration of suede
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. If discoloration occurs, professional cleaning might be necessary for severe cases.
