FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from 'Shadow Red' suede with hairy overlays, complemented by genuine leather and 'Off White' accents.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While inspired by vintage handball shoes, their current design and materials are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities rather than rigorous athletic performance.

How do I clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush or a melamine foam eraser can be used carefully.

What is the main color of this shoe?

The main color is 'Shadow Red', with 'Off White' accents and the classic adidas 'White' 3-Stripes.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede and potentially lead to staining.

What does 'LT' stand for in the product name?

The 'LT' likely signifies 'Lightweight', indicating a focus on reducing the shoe's overall weight for comfort.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. If tightness persists, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching.

Gum outsole discoloration

Minor discoloration can sometimes be buffed out with a melamine foam eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals which can damage the rubber.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Cotton or polyester laces are common replacements.
