FAQs
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure your foot length from the heel to the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer good traction for general use but may not provide the specialized support or performance features required for competitive handball.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from leather, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush can be used, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What does 'Aurora Ink Wild Sepia' refer to?
This refers to the specific colorway of the 'Aurora Ink Wild Sepia' model, which includes black as the primary color with accents of 'Aurora Ink' and 'Wild Sepia'.
Are these trainers authentic Adidas products?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot length. If between sizes, select the larger size. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug fit.
Leather upper shows creases or minor scuffs.
Minor creases are normal for leather. Use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and minimize creasing. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish or a leather repair kit.
Traction on the outsole feels reduced.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the surface you are walking on is dry.
