FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, they are now primarily considered a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For competitive handball, specialized performance footwear may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.
What is the fit like?
These trainers feature a regular fit and a lace closure, allowing for adjustment. The OrthoLite® sockliner provides cushioning and comfort.
What does 'Preloved Green' refer to?
Preloved Green is the specific colorway name for this version of the Handball Spezial, indicating a shade of green.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can easily stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, which provides good grip and durability, characteristic of the original handball shoe design.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite® sockliner?
The OrthoLite® sockliner is designed to provide enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and comfort, and it also helps with moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner or eraser sparingly, following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. You can try wearing them with slightly thicker socks to stretch them gently, or use a shoe stretcher. The OrthoLite® sockliner will conform to your foot over time.
Gum sole is losing grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
