FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While originally designed as indoor court shoes, they are best suited for lifestyle use today rather than intensive, competitive athletic training.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the suede material and affect the integrity of the shoe's adhesives. Stick to manual cleaning.

What is the sizing fit like?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but always refer to the specific UK size guide provided to ensure the best fit for the child.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The suede material is not naturally waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide limited protection against light moisture.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the design is considered unisex, making it a versatile choice for any child.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff away debris in the direction of the nap.

Scuff marks on the gum rubber outsole

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber edges until the scuffs are removed.

Shoes feeling slightly tight

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly and check that the socks being worn are not too thick for the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure these trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few wears. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  2. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent the suede from becoming damp or developing odors.
  3. Compatibility: These unisex trainers are highly versatile and pair well with jeans, chinos, or athletic shorts, making them a staple piece for any child's wardrobe.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray upon purchase to add a layer of protection against unexpected spills or rain.
