FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is absorbent and can be damaged by water. It is recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While based on handball history, this specific lifestyle model is intended for casual wear and lacks the high-tech support found in modern professional court shoes.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
You can wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and restore its appearance.
Is the sizing true to fit?
These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing; however, individual fit can vary based on personal preference for room in the toe box.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised against machine washing suede footwear, as it can cause warping, fading, and irreparable damage to the material.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap and remove the scuff.
General dirt accumulation
Gently clean the surface with a dry brush; do not soak the suede in water or machine wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, these trainers are ready for immediate wear. To ensure longevity, use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust regularly. Because the material is genuine suede, avoid wearing them in wet or rainy conditions, as moisture can damage the texture and color. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the shape, consider using cedar shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use.
