What material are the Handball Spezial trainers made of?

The upper is primarily crafted from soft suede, with a synthetic lining and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the suede material?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a damp cloth, and always allow them to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While inspired by a sports shoe, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities due to their design and suede material. They do not offer the support for intense athletic performance.

What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?

Cold Cement construction refers to a method of attaching the sole to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures, contributing to flexibility and durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, following product instructions.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the suede. Avoid excessive force, as suede can stretch but also be damaged.

Water marks on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the affected fibres. Applying a suede protector beforehand can help prevent this.
