Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezial ST W sneakers, especially given their suede and mesh construction and white color.
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh using a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Apply sparingly, brush gently in one direction to lift the nap, and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can damage the suede texture.
- Spot Cleaning (Mesh/Rubber): For mesh uppers and the rubber outsole, a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft cloth or sponge can be used. Wipe clean and then wipe with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink, crack, or discolor.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and mesh materials. This can help to repel water and stains, aiding in keeping your white sneakers looking fresh.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
