FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the modern Handball Spezial Jamaica sneakers are best suited for casual wear and everyday use, not for competitive athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush or eraser for general cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid excessive moisture.
What is the main difference between the Handball Spezial and Handball Spezial Jamaica?
The Handball Spezial Jamaica is a specific iteration that often includes unique design elements or colorways inspired by Jamaican culture, while maintaining the core retro silhouette of the original Handball Spezial.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. It's best to keep them for dry conditions.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush or use a suede eraser. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water unless specified by the cleaning product.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have purchased the correct size. Wear with thin socks initially, and the shoes may loosen slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider an exchange for a different size if possible.
Rubber sole is losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are used on appropriate surfaces.
Laces are frayed
Replace the laces with new ones. You can use the original length and color, or opt for a different style to customize the look.
