FAQs
Are these suitable for professional handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for casual wear and vintage style. They may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for high-level athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to Adidas sizing charts for accurate measurements. The trainers feature a lace closure for adjustability, but a snug, comfortable fit is ideal from the start.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather upper, lining, and sole construction.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if exposed to dry conditions, to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
What is the difference between this model and modern trainers?
This model features a classic silhouette, leather upper, and gum rubber outsole, emphasizing vintage style and durability. Modern trainers often incorporate advanced synthetic materials, specialized cushioning systems, and performance-enhancing designs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate socks. Leather may stretch slightly over time with wear.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Allow conditioner to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles are dirty
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure soles are dry before walking on smooth surfaces to prevent slipping.
Discoloration on leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
