FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for indoor sports like handball, their current iteration is best suited for casual wear and streetwear due to updated materials and design focus.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider that trainers often fit best with a little room for comfort.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material and the shoe's construction. Hand cleaning is advised.

What is the 'Cold Cement' construction?

This refers to a method of bonding the outsole to the upper, ensuring a durable and flexible connection without excessive heat.

How often should I clean the suede?

Regular brushing after wear can maintain the suede's appearance. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when stains or significant dirt appear.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The Handball Spezial model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for currently available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser.

Shoes feel tight on first wear

Suede shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially until they adapt to your foot shape.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar style or material. Standard flat laces are compatible.

Outsole losing grip

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Embedded debris can reduce traction. Clean with a damp cloth.
