FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as the leather and ribbon elements may be damaged by water submersion and agitation.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard children's sizing, but it is always recommended to check the internal measurement if your child is between sizes.

Can I replace the ribbon laces with standard ones?

While technically possible, the ribbon laces are a signature part of the design. Standard laces may not fit the aesthetic of the ruffled 3-Stripes.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While they feature a grippy gum sole, they are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than high-intensity competitive sports.

How do I protect the light lavender colour?

Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to create a protective barrier against environmental elements.

Troubleshooting

Ribbon laces keep coming untied

Double-knot the laces carefully or treat them with a fabric-safe stiffening spray if they continue to slip.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Use a clean pencil eraser or a soft-bristled brush with warm, soapy water to gently buff away black scuff marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction for active use
  • Stylish and unique aesthetic with ruffled details
  • Good traction provided by the classic gum rubber sole
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to cushioned insole

Cons

  • Ribbon laces may require more frequent adjusting than standard flat laces
  • Ruffled detailing may be harder to clean than smooth surfaces
  • Leather material is not as breathable as mesh-based trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Handball Spezial Ruffle trainers, keep the following care instructions in mind:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth after use to remove dirt and dust.
  2. Stubborn Marks: For tougher stains on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
  3. Lace Care: Be gentle when tightening the ribbon laces to avoid fraying or tearing the fabric.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material or shrink the rubber sole.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the insole.
