FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
No, this specific model is a small fit. It is recommended to size up from your usual UK size.
Can I use these for outdoor sports?
While durable, they are optimized for indoor handball performance. The leather upper may wear down faster on rough outdoor surfaces like concrete.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the abrasion-resistant rubber sole is designed to be non-staining.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash the shoes.
What is the purpose of the Torsion system?
The Torsion system is designed to provide stability to the metatarsal area, helping the shoe support your natural movement while preventing excessive twisting.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature a moulded EVA midsole for support, but if you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit the internal dimensions as the shoe runs small.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the toes
This model is a small fit. If they are brand new and barely worn, consider exchanging for a half or full size larger.
Squeaking sound when walking on smooth floors
This often occurs with new rubber outsoles. Clean the soles with a damp cloth to remove any factory residue or dust.
Leather looks dull after use
Use a leather-safe conditioner to hydrate the material and maintain its original flexibility and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a soft leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain their shape and comfort. To clean, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Before wearing them for long durations, we recommend wearing them around the house to allow the leather to break in. Since the shoes run small, always verify your fit upon arrival; note that the box or internal label might reflect US or Euro sizing, which can differ from your standard UK measurement.
