FAQs

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The trainers feature a suede upper.

What type of outsole do these trainers have?

They are equipped with a natural rubber outsole for durability and grip.

Are these trainers suitable for professional sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities rather than intense professional sports.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a slightly damp cloth for stains, allowing them to air dry. Avoid soaking the material.

What does 'Handball Spezial' signify?

'Handball Spezial' refers to a line of trainers inspired by the design of classic handball shoes, known for their retro style and durable construction.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, suede is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a protective spray.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect.

Try on the trainers with the type of socks you typically wear. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a different size. Remember that sizing on the box or label might differ from the UK size.

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean the surface. For more persistent marks, a damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying.

Outsole feels slippery.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The natural rubber outsole provides grip, but effectiveness can be reduced by dirt or wear.
