FAQs
What is the main material of the Handball Spezial?
The upper is primarily made of suede, with synthetic materials for the sole and other accents.
Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?
While inspired by sports shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For intense sports, specialized footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the blue 3-Stripes?
Gently wipe the stripes with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surrounding suede.
What does 'terrace icon' mean in the description?
It refers to the shoe's history as a popular footwear choice among football fans ('terrace culture') in the UK, evolving from its sports origins into a fashion staple.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions. Consider using a suede protectant spray or opting for a different pair of shoes during rain.
What is the difference between the Suede and Leather versions?
The Suede version features a soft, napped upper made of suede, while the Leather version uses a smoother, more durable leather for its upper.
How do I find my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. The shoe fits true to size for most users, but personal preference for tightness may vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth and allow to dry naturally.
Gum sole losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may affect traction.
Laces are worn
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color.
Fit feels slightly tight
Wear with thin socks initially, and allow the shoes to break in. Suede often molds to the foot over time.
