For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Suede is sensitive to water and can be damaged or stained. It's best to avoid heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush the suede to restore its texture.
The Handball Spezial features a regular fit, which is generally true to size. The lace closure allows for personal adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable feel.
