FAQs

What material is the upper primarily made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from 'Shadow Red' suede with hairy overlays and 'Off White' accents.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear and not for professional athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

What kind of grip does the outsole offer?

The curvilinear gum outsole provides lightweight grip and reliable traction on various surfaces.

What is the main advantage of the design?

The main advantage is its authentic retro style, inspired by vintage football boots, combined with everyday comfort.

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

Based on the description, 'LT' likely refers to a specific iteration or stylistic element of the Handball Spezial model, possibly relating to lighter materials or a specific design update.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

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

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can occasionally happen with new suede products. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially until the color transfer minimizes. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Gum sole shows scuff marks

Gently wipe the scuff marks with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
