FAQs

What is the primary material of the Handball Spezial LT?

The shoe features an upper constructed from a combination of genuine leather and soft suede, with 'Shadow Red' suede and 'Hairy' suede overlays.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush regularly to maintain the texture and remove dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Is this shoe suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by vintage handball shoes, the Handball Spezial LT is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and casual styling, not for athletic performance.

What does the 'LT' in the product name stand for?

The 'LT' likely refers to 'Lightweight', indicating a focus on comfort and ease of wear for daily use.

How does the fit typically run?

The Handball Spezial LT generally offers a standard fit. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can stain and damage the material. Apply a protective spray designed for suede and leather if you anticipate encountering dampness.

What is the main colorway described?

The primary colorway described is 'Shadow Red' suede with 'Off White' accents and a gum outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner afterwards.

Laces become dirty.

Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Gum sole looks discolored.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the rubber compound.
