FAQs

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper of these trainers is suede.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are best suited for casual, everyday wear and are not designed for high-performance athletic activities.

How should I clean the scarlet suede upper?

Clean dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions. Avoid excessive water and machine washing.

What is the benefit of the gum sole?

The gum sole provides excellent traction and grip, along with a classic retro aesthetic.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and cause color transfer.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The 'Scarlet Gum' variant specifically refers to this red and white colorway. The Handball Spezial series may have other color options available separately.

What does 'T-toe overlay' mean?

The T-toe overlay is a design feature on the front of the shoe, shaped like a 'T', which adds to the durability and classic style of the trainer.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaning solution and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Color transfer from suede

This can happen, especially when the shoes are new or wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. Consider using a suede protector spray to help seal the color. Avoid wearing with very light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.

Gum sole appears worn

Normal wear and tear may occur on the gum sole over time. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser or mild cleaner can sometimes help. Significant wear may affect grip.
