FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium suede.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, specifically a gum rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities today due to their vintage construction. For intense modern handball, specialized performance shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains, allowing them to air dry. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What does 'COLD CEMENT' construction mean?

This refers to the manufacturing process where the sole is attached to the upper using cold adhesive, which helps maintain flexibility and a lower profile.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. Consider using a water-repellent spray for protection.

What is the fit like?

These trainers have a regular fit and feature a lace closure for adjustability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in, or consult shoe stretching resources.

Gum sole is marked

Most marks on the gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a melamine sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
