No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive used for the rubber soles.
While originally designed as handball shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle sneakers; modern high-performance handball shoes offer better support for intense court movement.
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas products, though if you prefer a looser fit or thick socks, consider sizing up by a half size.
You can wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary.
The trainers do not come pre-treated with water repellent, so it is recommended to apply a suede-safe protective spray before first use.
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the nap of the suede in one direction.
Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub the stained area until it lifts, then brush to restore the texture.
For optimal fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to your foot width while sitting; the suede material will slightly conform to your foot shape over time. To maintain your trainers, use a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few wears. Avoid cleaning the suede with water or harsh chemicals, as this can cause discoloration or stiffening. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help them dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which could otherwise crack or warp the rubber soles.
