FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and fashion. They may not offer the specific performance features required for competitive handball.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the brand's official size chart, which typically provides measurements corresponding to UK sizes. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather and suede construction means they are not fully waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Consider a protective spray for added water resistance.

What does 'Made in Germany' signify for this shoe?

It indicates that the shoe has been manufactured in Germany, reflecting a commitment to high standards of craftsmanship, quality control, and attention to detail associated with German manufacturing.

How do I clean the contrasting white stripes?

Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the white stripes. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the material.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Please refer to the specific retailer's or adidas' official warranty policy for the most accurate information regarding the warranty period and coverage for this product.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and placing a dry paper towel or talc powder underneath, then reinserting the insole.

Discoloration on suede areas

Ensure suede has been treated with a protective spray. If discoloration occurs, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush to attempt removal, working gently.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with new ones of a similar material and length. Avoid excessive tightening of the laces, which can put strain on the eyelets and lace material.

Reduced grip on sole

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not inherently slippery.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather: Clean leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather, applying sparingly.
  • Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Outsole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
