Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, use a suede-specific brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. Avoid exposing the suede to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can stain the material and ruin the nap. If the shoes become damp, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal comfort, ensure your laces are adjusted to provide even pressure across the bridge of your foot.
