Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial features a standard fit. The lacing system offers some flexibility, but those with very wide feet may find the T-toe construction slightly snug.
How do I keep the suede clean?
Use a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first wear and clean regularly with a soft brush.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and loosen the adhesives.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the Handball Spezial is designed as a unisex style suitable for all children.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, providing both durability and a flexible fit.
Do they provide good arch support?
The OrthoLite sock liner provides basic cushioning, though the shoe is relatively low-profile compared to specialized athletic running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure across the instep.
Difficulty cleaning light marks
Utilize a dry crepe rubber eraser specifically designed for suede to lift surface stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your suede Handball Spezial trainers, avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions as moisture can damage the suede texture. If the shoes become dirty, allow any mud to dry completely before gently brushing it off with a specialized suede brush. For the lace adjustment, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for optimal mid-foot security. Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, when drying, as this can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
