FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball heritage, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For competitive handball, specialized performance shoes are recommended due to advanced support and cushioning needs.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of textile, providing a clean look and comfortable feel.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot. Consider trying them on if possible, or check reviews for insights on fit. The UK 11.5 size is specified for this particular product guide.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning the upper.

What is the main advantage of the low-cut silhouette?

The low-cut silhouette allows for greater freedom of movement for the ankle, making them comfortable for walking and casual activities.

This refers to the specific colorway of the trainers, indicating shades of grey and off-white used in the design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear with appropriate socks for initial break-in period.

Discoloration on textile upper

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles becoming dirty

Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush with a small amount of water and mild soap, then wipe clean.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar type and length. Many sports or shoe stores carry replacement laces.
