FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial trainers suitable for sports?
While they originated as indoor handball shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle footwear intended for casual, everyday wear.
How do I clean the suede version?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid water, as it can cause permanent staining on suede.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the low-profile design may feel snug for individuals with wider feet.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles in these trainers are generally designed for the specific fit of the shoe, but many users opt for thin aftermarket insoles if they require extra arch support.
What is the primary material used?
Depending on the specific release, they are crafted from either premium leather or soft suede, both of which are durable for lifestyle use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining suede texture
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove dust regularly.
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.
Slippage in the heel area
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly at the top eyelet to secure the padded collar against the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. For leather models, use a soft cloth and a gentle leather cleaner to wipe away debris. For suede variants, it is highly recommended to use a suede-specific brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap, and a protective spray to prevent water damage. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and compromise the material structure. Ensure you choose the correct size, as the lace-up closure allows for some tension adjustment, but the low-profile construction provides a snug, true-to-size fit.
