Care & Maintenance for Suede Uppers
The suede material on your Handball Spezial ST W requires specific care to keep it looking its best. Proper maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your shoes.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of suede cleaner. Dab, don't rub, to avoid spreading the stain.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains, professional suede cleaning may be necessary.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation.
