FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers, specifically the Handball Spezial GS model, are designed for older kids (Unisex).
What material are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a suede upper, leather 3-stripes, synthetic lining, and a rubber outsole.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily lifestyle trainers. They offer good comfort and grip for casual wear but may lack the specific support needed for intense athletic play.
What does 'GS' stand for in the model name?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that this particular sizing and design is aimed at school-aged children.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Adjust the lace closure for a secure fit. The regular fit aims to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain, as moisture can damage the material and cause color transfer. Apply a waterproofing spray for light protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try wearing them with appropriate socks. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. If they remain uncomfortable, consider a larger size.
Outsole appears worn
Regular cleaning of the outsole can prevent excessive wear. For significant wear, professional repair or replacement may be an option, though often not cost-effective for casual trainers.
Color transfer from suede
This can occur when suede is wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wear. Using a suede protector can help mitigate color transfer. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
