FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for Adidas, though the suede may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede is sensitive to moisture and can become discolored or damaged if soaked.

How do I clean the white suede portions?

Use a dry suede eraser for spot cleaning and a soft-bristled brush to sweep away dust.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they originated as indoor handball shoes, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle trainers for casual use.

Do I need to break them in?

Most users find that the suede upper softens significantly after a few wears, providing a more custom fit over time.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Ensure the laces are fully loosened; suede can be slightly less flexible than canvas until broken in.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe the rubber sole clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality suede material feels premium and soft
  • Generous cushioning provides excellent comfort for daily use
  • Reinforced heel increases the longevity of the shoe
  • Distinctive gum sole offers reliable grip and retro appeal

Cons

  • Suede requires specific cleaning tools and methods
  • Less suitable for use in heavy rain or mud
  • Requires a break-in period to achieve maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lace-up trainers, you can adjust the fit using the standard lacing system to match your preferred level of tightness. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the suede texture. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and debris regularly. If the suede becomes stained, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner and a specialized brush to restore the nap. It is highly recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear to guard against minor liquid contact.
