FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These shoes are designed for casual everyday wear and offer good traction for general activities. They are not specifically designed as performance athletic footwear for intense sports.

How do I clean the brown suede material?

For cleaning suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the main inspiration behind the Handball Spezial design?

The Handball Spezial design is inspired by classic court shoes from the 1970s, updated with modern comfort features.

What materials are used in the construction?

The uppers are primarily made of cow suede, with synthetic and textile linings, and a rubber outsole.

Are these shoes available in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

How do I ensure I select the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately. It's often helpful to measure foot length in centimeters for the most precise match.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe will not become comfortable.

Laces are worn or dirty

Clean the laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces if they are too damaged.

Sole is losing grip

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
  • Lining: The synthetic and textile lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  • Drying: Never dry shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
