FAQs

Can these be used for actual handball matches?

While originally designed for handball, modern court sports require specialized technology for stability and shock absorption that this vintage-style reissue does not prioritize.

How does the sizing run for the Handball Spezial?

They generally run true to size, but the slim profile may feel slightly narrower for those with wider feet.

Is the material real suede?

Yes, the product features high-quality suede construction for the upper panels.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede texture and compromise the adhesive used for the sole.

Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?

Due to the suede material, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing these in heavy rain to prevent permanent staining and texture damage.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently buff away surface marks.

Water spots on the material

Lightly mist the entire suede upper with water and blot with a clean cloth to even out the color, then allow to air dry completely.

Gum sole discoloration

Wipe the gum soles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove grime and restore the original tan appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:

  1. Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time to create a barrier against dust and light moisture.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Moisture Control: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while they air dry slowly at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, as this can stiffen or damage the suede.
