FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While the design is inspired by handball shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle activities due to their materials and construction. They are not designed as performance athletic footwear.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used with caution. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of gum rubber, which provides good grip and durability for everyday wear.

Are these trainers unisex?

This specific variant is listed for men, but the style is generally considered unisex by many. Please check sizing carefully.

What colours are available?

This guide focuses on the 'Scarlet Gum' colourway, which features scarlet red suede with white accents and a gum sole.

What UK size is equivalent to a US size?

Sizing can vary. It is recommended to consult a size conversion chart for adidas footwear or measure your foot to ensure the correct fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the gum sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a suede protector spray for added resistance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking scuffed or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary and then only sparingly.

Gum sole is discoloured

Try cleaning the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are worn

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and colour, or choose a contrasting colour for a different look.
