FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle fashion trainers designed for walking and casual wear, not for high-impact sports.

How do I clean the velvet material?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on the velvet, as this can damage the pile.

Is the Care Bear charm removable?

Yes, the charm included in the box is designed to be detachable so you can customize your look.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

The Handball Spezial series generally fits true to size, though personal preference for sock thickness may influence your choice.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Velvet is a delicate textile that can be easily stained and damaged by water or moisture.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust on the velvet upper

Use a specialized soft-bristle garment or shoe brush to gently sweep away dust.

Scuffs on the rubber sole

Gently wipe the edges of the rubber sole with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap.

Dirt stains on the white 3-stripes

Use a sneaker-safe cleaning solution on a soft cloth to spot-clean the synthetic stripes carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When unboxing your trainers, ensure you locate the detachable Care Bear charm, which can be attached to the laces for a custom look. To keep the velvet fabric in optimal condition, avoid wearing them in rain or muddy conditions, as velvet absorbs moisture and stains easily. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris in the direction of the fabric grain. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading.
