Care Instructions
Maintaining the premium suede and leather of your Handball Spezial shoes is crucial for their longevity and appearance.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protectant spray before first wear. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently brush away loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or smudges, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) to gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently dab the stain. Follow product instructions carefully and avoid oversaturating the suede.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
- Avoid Water: Minimize exposure to heavy rain or standing water, as suede can be permanently damaged by excessive moisture.
