FAQs

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper is suede, with a natural rubber outsole and a synthetic insole.

Are these trainers suitable for professional handball play?

While inspired by handball, they are generally considered lifestyle trainers. They offer good grip and support for casual play or training, but professional-level performance might require specialized sports footwear.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a soft suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive moisture and allow to air dry.

Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check product listings for specific availability.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a protector spray can help, prolonged exposure to rain may damage the material. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the fit like?

These trainers are designed with a regular fit. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit for your foot.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Verify the UK size against the product tag and consider trying on different sizes or consulting a size chart. Note that box or label sizes may differ from UK sizing.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions, and allow to air dry.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While natural rubber offers good grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Break-in period might improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush the suede with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, being careful not to oversaturate the material. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
