FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, while designed with skateboarding in mind, their comfortable construction and classic style make them excellent for everyday casual wear.
How do I ensure the white color stays clean?
Regular, gentle cleaning with appropriate suede and mesh cleaners is key. Avoid prolonged exposure to dirt and wipe off spills promptly.
What kind of protection do they offer for skateboarding?
The Handball Spezial ST features lower proportions and reinforced high-scuff areas on the toebox and heel, designed to protect against abrasion common in skateboarding.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to put suede and mesh shoes in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand cleaning is preferred.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from a premium combination of suede and mesh, offering both durability and breathability.
Are these men's or women's shoes?
This specific variant (JI2608) is listed for 'Female' gender, though the Spezial line often has unisex appeal. Always check the specific product listing for gender designation.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the best fit. Refer to size guides if unsure about sizing.
Sole grip feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are on is also clean and dry.
White upper shows dirt easily
For immediate small marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for mixed materials.
