FAQs

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water, as it can damage the suede.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Handball Spezial trainers are designed primarily for casual wear. While they offer good comfort and grip for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic use.

How do I care for the gum sole?

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to clean off dirt. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.

What is the benefit of the reinforced heel panel?

The reinforced heel panel is designed to increase the durability of the trainers and provide additional support to the heel area, contributing to a more comfortable and lasting wear.

Can I customize the look of my trainers?

Yes, these trainers come with an extra pair of laces, allowing you to change the style and color to match your preference or outfit.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede material is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Try gently rubbing the scuff marks with a clean pencil eraser. For more persistent marks, a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap can be effective, followed by a clean damp cloth.

Trainers feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Suede can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.

Water stains on suede

Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and restore the texture. It is best to avoid getting suede footwear wet.
