FAQs
What material are the Handball Spezial LT trainers made of?
The upper is primarily made of soft suede, with synthetic textile sockliner and a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style but are not engineered for the demands of competitive play.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth very carefully and let the shoes air dry completely. Avoid soaking or machine washing.
What is the purpose of the long tongue?
The long tongue is a style feature, offering a contemporary update and a distinctive aesthetic inspired by soccer boot designs.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the black and gold variant. Please refer to retailer listings for available colorways.
How is the fit of these trainers?
They are designed for a regular fit. The suede upper and light cushioning aim to provide comfort for everyday wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing these trainers in rain or snow to protect the material.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a lightly dampened cloth, then air dry.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thicker socks for a short period. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.
Tongue feels awkward
The long tongue is a design feature. It may take some wear to adjust to its position. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can exacerbate any initial adjustment period.
