FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
These are lifestyle sneakers inspired by handball heritage. While they offer good grip for casual wear, they are not designed as specialized performance footwear for competitive handball.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For tougher stains, use a specific suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
What is the best way to maintain the color of the shoes?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Store them in a cool, dry place away from light when not in use.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and damage the material. It is recommended to avoid wearing these sneakers in rain or wet environments.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Given they are lifestyle sneakers, consider your personal preference for fit. If you prefer a snugger fit, size down. If you prefer more room or plan to wear thicker socks, sizing up might be more comfortable. It's often helpful to check user reviews for specific sizing feedback.
What is the primary material of these sneakers?
The primary material for the upper is suede, offering a soft texture and classic look.
What type of closure do these shoes have?
These are low-top sneakers with a traditional lace-up closure system.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also improve comfort.
Laces are dirty or worn.
Replace laces with new ones. Many sneaker laces are standard sizes and can be easily substituted.
Soles show signs of wear.
Regular cleaning of the soles can help maintain their appearance. For significant wear, professional sole repair may be an option, though typically these are considered normal wear and tear for a lifestyle shoe.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a specialized suede eraser to remove dry dirt and marks. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the material. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can typically be hand-washed or machine-washed in a mesh bag.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade the color.
