FAQs

What are the main materials used?

The primary material for the upper is suede, with rubber used for the outsole.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle use rather than competitive athletic performance.

How do I clean the white accents?

For white accents like the stripes, a slightly damp cloth or a non-gel toothpaste applied with a soft brush can help clean them. Be careful not to get the suede too wet.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Using a water repellent spray can offer some protection.

What does 'Scarlet Gum' refer to?

'Scarlet' refers to the vibrant red color of the suede upper, and 'Gum' refers to the classic brown rubber outsole.

What is the sizing like?

These shoes generally follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible for the best fit.

How do I maintain the metallic gold branding?

The metallic gold branding is typically durable. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be removed with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser may be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the suede.

Shoe feels stiff initially

This is normal for suede. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
