FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
The Handball Spezial trainers are designed for casual wear and offer good traction for walking and light activities. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can damage the material and affect the shape of the shoe.
What is the main benefit of the Ortholite sockliner?
The Ortholite sockliner provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management to keep your feet comfortable.
How do the white leather stripes differ from the suede?
The white stripes are made of smooth leather, offering a visual contrast to the textured suede upper. They are generally easier to wipe clean than the suede.
What kind of fit can I expect?
These trainers typically offer a regular fit. The padded collar adds comfort around the ankle. It's advisable to try them on if possible, or consult sizing guides.
Is the 'Handball Spezial' text on the side permanent?
Yes, the 'Handball Spezial' text is applied in gold foil and is a design feature of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap. Brush in one direction for best results.
Scuff marks on suede
Try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For light marks, a pencil eraser can sometimes work.
Gum sole discoloration
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and allow the materials to break in. Using a shoe tree can also help stretch them slightly.
