FAQs
What is the intended use for the Handball Spezial Shoes?
These shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style inspired by their athletic heritage.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more significant dirt or marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner.
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, they are optimized for lifestyle use and may not provide the necessary support or grip for competitive play.
How do I care for the gum rubber outsole?
Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?
This refers to a method of bonding the outsole to the upper without heat, contributing to the shoe's flexibility and durability.
Do these shoes come in different sizes?
Yes, the Handball Spezial Shoes are available in a range of adult sizes. Please refer to the size chart for specific conversions.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper is not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended to maintain the material's condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size as sizing can vary.
Leather upper shows scuffs or marks
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a dedicated leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for the shoe's finish.
Gum sole appears dirty
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Suede elements look worn
Use a suede brush in one direction to restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
