FAQs

How should I clean the hairy suede upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush to regularly remove dust. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaning kit and avoid using excessive water.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the suede material may offer a snug feel initially before molding to your foot.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. The suede material can absorb water, which may lead to discoloration or permanent damage.

What is the primary material used?

This variant features a high-quality hairy suede material with rubber gum outsoles.

Are the carabiners and keychains removable?

Yes, the custom Trefoil carabiners and the collectible keychain are removable accessories.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt particles without damaging the fibers.

Water spots or dampness

Stuff the shoes with white paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezials maintain their vibrant appearance, perform a quick check of the fit upon arrival. Since these are low-profile shoes, they pair best with cropped trousers, jeans, or casual joggers that allow the design to stand out.

Care Instructions:

  1. Protect: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.
  2. Clean: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust and restore the 'nap' of the hairy upper after each use.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the bright yellow pigment from fading.
  4. Handling: Avoid machine washing, which can ruin the texture and shape of the suede material.
