FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support typically required for serious running.
How do I clean the Glow Blue accents?
The Glow Blue accents are part of the shoe's design. Clean them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the colour or material.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper of these trainers is primarily constructed from suede, contributing to their classic look and feel.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put these trainers in a washing machine, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can cause irreversible damage to the shape, colour, and texture of the shoe.
Are these unisex?
These trainers are marketed towards males, but the sizing and design are often suitable for anyone looking for this specific style and fit.
What is the difference between Japan Handball Spezial and other Handball Spezial models?
The 'Japan' designation often refers to specific colourways or minor design variations tailored for particular markets, while maintaining the core Handball Spezial silhouette and function.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and light. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a very lightly dampened cloth, followed by brushing once dry.
Shoes feel too tight.
Wear the shoes with thin socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if professional stretching is needed.
Odors develop inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles (if possible) and air the shoes out thoroughly. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Discoloration from water or stains.
Promptly blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. For suede, water stains can sometimes be minimized by lightly dampening the entire affected area with a spray bottle and then brushing once dry. Use a suede protector spray for prevention.
