FAQs
What material are these trainers made from?
The trainers feature a primary upper made from croc-textured leather with suede overlays on the eyestays, T-toe, and heel counter. The outsole is made of gum rubber.
Are these suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or athletic training due to their construction and focus on style.
How should I clean the animal-textured leather?
Clean the croc-textured leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and test on a hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific model is presented in Shadow Red with an animal pattern. Other colorways and variations of the Handball Spezial may be available, but this guide pertains to the red animal version.
What is the typical fit of the Handball Spezial?
The Handball Spezial generally offers a snug, true-to-size fit. Some users find them slightly narrow, so if you have wider feet, it might be worth considering trying them on or looking for reviews specific to fit.
How do I care for the suede parts?
Use a suede brush regularly to remove dust and maintain texture. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Consider using a suede protector spray for added protection.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method for care.
Troubleshooting
Leather texture appears dull
Gently clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather. Avoid over-conditioning.
Suede is stained or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Gum sole is discolored
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, try a mild cleaning solution or a magic eraser, testing on a small area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Fit feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks for initial wear. Leather and suede will naturally mold to the foot over time. If still uncomfortable, consider a larger size if available.
