Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your suede Handball Spezial shoes.
Protect Suede: Before the first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates an invisible barrier against water, stains, and dirt, significantly extending the life of your shoes.
Regular Cleaning (Dry):
For light dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush (preferably with brass bristles) to gently brush off debris. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
For minor scuffs or shiny spots, use a suede eraser (similar to a pencil eraser) to gently rub away marks. Follow up with the suede brush.
Deep Cleaning (Stains):
For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Always follow the product manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Avoid water and harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede, as they can cause permanent damage or discoloration.
Drying Wet Shoes: If your shoes get wet, do not machine wash or tumble dry. Stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
Laces: The laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with a mild soap if they become dirty.
