FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the adhesive components of the sole. Stick to manual cleaning methods.
Can I use these for outdoor sports?
While they are versatile, they are designed primarily for indoor handball and casual use. Prolonged outdoor use may accelerate wear on the outsole.
What is the purpose of the TORSION® SYSTEM?
It provides arch support and allows the front and back of the foot to move independently, increasing stability and comfort.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they follow standard adidas sizing; however, since they are suede, they may have a slight break-in period to conform perfectly to your foot shape.
How do I protect the suede from staining?
Applying a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray is recommended before the first use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap.
Loss of cushion response
Ensure the shoe is fully dry and check that the footbed insert has not shifted or flattened over time.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Replace standard laces with textured performance laces or double-knot for increased security during active use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, the shoes feature a standard lace closure that allows for a customizable lockdown. Ensure your UK size matches your typical adidas fit for the best experience. To maintain the trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede. For deep cleaning, utilize a dedicated suede cleaning kit and avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying to prevent the material from cracking or fading. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape.
