FAQs

Are the Handball Spezial shoes good for running?

No, these shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.

How do I clean the gum sole?

You can clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of durable suede.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the suede offers some protection, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, as this can damage the suede. Consider using a suede protector spray.

Are these shoes suitable for indoor handball today?

While originally designed for handball, modern handball requires specialized footwear. These shoes are best suited for their modern role as a stylish casual sneaker.

How do I care for the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove dirt. Treat stains with a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry away from heat.

What does 'Low Shoes' mean in the product title?

'Low Shoes' refers to the cut of the shoe, meaning they do not extend above the ankle, offering more freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

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

Gum sole shows scuff marks

Try using a soft cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the affected areas. A magic eraser can also be effective on light scuffs.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The suede and sole will naturally soften with use.

Discoloration on suede

Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. If wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture.
