FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer comfort, they do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for intense athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to air dry them completely afterward. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

What is the main difference between these and the original Handball Spezial?

The main difference is the 'Bold' version features a significantly thicker, stacked platform sole, offering an elevated aesthetic compared to the flatter profile of the original Handball Spezial.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of Night Indigo suede, with Clear Sky leather for the iconic 3-Stripes and other overlay details.

Are these true to size?

Generally, these trainers are reported to fit true to size for most wearers. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check the size guide and consider personal preference for fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the suede can be treated for some water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as excessive moisture can damage the suede and affect the shoe's structure.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight on first wear

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if they feel loose.

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product for specific treatments, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs on rubber soles can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser or a paste of baking soda and water, applied gently with a cloth.
