FAQs
What makes the Handball Spezial LT different from the original Handball Spezial?
The 'LT' designation typically indicates an updated or 'Light' version. In this case, the Handball Spezial LT features an elevated design with a soft suede upper and a distinctive long folded tongue, offering a fresh, fashionable take on the classic silhouette.
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial LT is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. For competitive handball, specialized athletic footwear with enhanced support and grip is recommended.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid soaking the suede with water and allow it to air dry naturally if it gets damp.
What is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit?
Make sure you select your correct UK size. If the shoes feel snug initially, wear them for short periods to break them in. The suede material will naturally mold to your foot over time.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the suede material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely and then brush the suede.
What other colors or sizes are available?
Availability of colors and sizes can vary. Please check the product listing for current options. This guide focuses on the Black and Gold variant.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently clean the surface and restore the nap. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, break them in gradually with short periods of wear. Consider using thin socks.
Gum sole is dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
