FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing indoor handball?
While based on an indoor sports classic, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For competitive handball, we recommend shoes with modern technical stability features.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a half size in other sports brands, we suggest checking the manufacturer's size chart to compare.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives holding the sole together. Use a soft cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, like most natural leather footwear, they will slightly conform to the shape of your foot with regular wear.
Are the laces included?
Yes, each pair comes with high-quality laces matched to the shoe's aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or remove the factory insole to replace it with a thinner version.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Clean the surface with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of leather cream or polish matched to the brown shade.
Accumulated dirt in the tread pattern
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge small pebbles or debris from the rubber sole.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lifestyle shoes, setup is as simple as adjusting the laces to your preferred tension. For compatibility, the unisex sizing means you should check your specific UK size conversion to ensure an optimal fit. To maintain the appearance of the leather upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after use. If the leather becomes damp, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to crack. Periodically applying a leather conditioner will keep the material supple and help maintain the brown color depth.
