FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to size, though the narrow silhouette means those with wider feet might prefer sizing up by half a size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. The suede material and adhesive components can be severely damaged by machine washing and high heat.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for the sport, modern handball requires specific high-performance court footwear; these are now intended for lifestyle and casual use.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.

Do these provide arch support?

The shoes offer basic support, but they lack the heavy-duty arch structure found in dedicated stability footwear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner can generally be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a circular motion.

Shoes feel too snug

Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets and re-thread them to allow more room in the toe box area.

Light dirt on the gum outsole

Wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage aesthetic that never goes out of style
  • Highly comfortable OrthoLite cushioning for all-day use
  • Durable gum rubber outsole provides solid grip
  • Adjustable lace-up design for a precise fit
  • Lightweight construction suitable for daily walking

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to water and dirt stains
  • Not intended for high-intensity sports despite athletic origins
  • Limited arch support compared to modern performance running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: Use the lace closure to secure the shoe snugly across the midfoot. If the fit feels too tight, wear them with thin cotton socks during the initial break-in period.
  2. Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few uses. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or mud, as water can cause the suede to stiffen or change color.
  3. Stain Treatment: If stains occur, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and an eraser kit. Avoid submersing the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this will damage the material.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading over time.
