Can I replace the insoles?

How should I clean the gum rubber outsole?
Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to clean the outsole, then wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
Do these sneakers come in other colors?
The Handball Spezial series is released in various colorways, though availability varies by region and retailer.
Are they made of genuine leather?
Yes, this model features a leather upper construction for premium quality and comfort.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel tight across the midfoot.
Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets and re-thread them to provide more volume across the instep.
Scuff marks on the white leather.
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth and a gentle leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Outsole Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt or pebbles trapped in the gum rubber tread.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or discolor.
- Laces: The standard laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent if they become stained.
