Care Instructions
Maintaining the distinctive look of your Handball Spezial sneakers, especially the velvet and suede components, requires careful attention:
- General Cleaning: For light dust or surface dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently brush the velvet and suede in one direction. For the rubber gum sole, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Stain Removal (Suede/Velvet): For specific stains, use a specialized suede and velvet cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Apply according to the product's instructions, usually by gently dabbing (not rubbing) the stain.
- Moisture Protection: Velvet and suede are sensitive to water. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade colors or damage materials.
- Deodorizing: To keep the interior fresh, use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets when not in use.
