Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
These are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic performance like playing football.
How do I know if I have the right size?

What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality leather.
How should I clean the white leather parts?

Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar material and length. Clean lace holes to prevent snagging.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.
Soles losing grip
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. If wear is significant, professional assessment may be needed.
Discoloration of leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use appropriate leather conditioners for color protection if recommended for the specific finish.
