FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for competitive sports.
How do I clean the embossed croc pattern?
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern or leather.
What is the COLD CEMENT construction?
This refers to the method used to bond the sole to the upper, typically resulting in a more flexible and durable shoe compared to older methods.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing.
Can I wear these with any outfit?
Yes, their versatile design makes them suitable for a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.
What does 'OG Spezial branding' mean?
It signifies that the branding on the shoe is an authentic reproduction of the original design elements from the vintage Spezial series.
Is the red color likely to fade?
Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Storing them away from direct light is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period or use a shoe stretcher. Leather will naturally stretch slightly over time with wear.
Gum sole is dirty
Use a magic eraser or a pencil eraser to gently rub off marks. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when storing them.
Color transfer from red leather
Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer to lighter socks is a concern, consider wearing darker socks or applying a leather sealant, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
