Are these suitable for professional handball play?

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn out or discolored
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and color. Many athletic footwear retailers offer replacement laces.
Gum sole is dirty
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thick socks for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. You can also use a shoe stretcher for more persistent tightness.
