FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

You can wipe the gum rubber sole clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

What is the main benefit of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction and grip, helping to prevent slips and falls during active play.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

Is the sizing UK or US?

The sizing provided (e.g., Size 11) refers to UK children's foot sizing.

Can these be worn for specific sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are best suited for general athletic play and everyday casual wear rather than competitive sports requiring specialized footwear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of suede, offering a classic aesthetic and good durability for casual use.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products or a professional cleaner.

Laces are difficult to tie securely

Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly. Double-knotting can provide extra security.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing pattern to create a more personalized fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
