FAQs

How do I attach the interchangeable tongue?

The embroidered tongue attaches via Velcro on the shoe's tongue area. Simply align it and press firmly to secure.

Can I wash the laces?

Yes, the laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. They may not offer the specialized support and performance required for competitive handball.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber, featuring a zigzag antislip tread pattern for enhanced grip.

How should I care for the suede inserts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean and maintain the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What comes with the shoes regarding lacing?

The shoes come with double sets of laces in two different colors, allowing for further customization of the shoe's appearance.

Is this shoe water-resistant?

The leather upper offers some protection against light moisture, but the suede inserts and seams are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Leather creasing excessively.

Normal creasing is expected with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize premature or excessive creasing. Consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Laces getting dirty quickly.

The shoes come with double laces. Spot clean soiled laces with mild soap and water, or switch to the alternative pair while cleaning.

Tread pattern losing grip.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean of mud, stones, or other debris that could obstruct the zigzag tread pattern. Regular cleaning will help maintain grip.
