FAQs

What is the primary material of the Handball Spezial?

The primary materials are leather and velvety suede uppers, providing both durability and a premium feel.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the Handball Spezial are designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What does the Torsion system do?

The Torsion system provides midfoot support and enhances stability, allowing for a more natural foot movement during wear.

How does the ADIPRENE+ cushioning benefit the wearer?

ADIPRENE+ cushioning is designed to offer enhanced comfort and support, absorbing impact and providing a responsive feel with each step.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While they have leather components, the suede is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or allow for a break-in period. If persistent, consider if the size is correct.

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Discoloration on leather

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for the shoe's color.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the soles are clean. For persistent slipperiness, consider a light scuffing of the sole on a rough surface or consult a shoe repair specialist.
