FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, their low-cut design and textile upper are more suited for casual wear and light court activities rather than professional, high-impact handball that requires significant ankle support.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of textile, offering breathability and a lightweight feel.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the brand's official sizing chart or measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided size guide. This model is a UK 8.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does 'Grey Four/ Off White/ Grey Six' refer to?

This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Grey Four' is the primary grey, 'Off White' is the secondary white accent, and 'Grey Six' is likely another shade of grey used for detailing or the sole.

What kind of support do these shoes offer?

These trainers offer standard support suitable for everyday wear and light activity. They feature a cushioned insole and a flat sole for ground feel. Ankle support is minimal due to the low-cut profile.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and may not provide protection in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Tread wear on the sole

This is normal with regular use. For extended wear, consider a shoe protector spray suitable for textile and rubber. Ensure cleaning methods do not involve abrasive materials.

Discoloration of the textile upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. For stubborn stains, consult specialized textile cleaners.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
