FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on vintage court shoes and does not provide the specific impact protection or energy return required for running.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, the Handball Spezial series follows standard UK sizing; however, since they have a low-profile fit, you may want to ensure your specific foot width is accommodated.
How do I clean the green and brown sections?
Treat the materials according to their type; use a dry brush for the suede components and a soft damp cloth for any synthetic or leather trims.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a sneaker-specific water-repellent spray to protect against light splashes, but avoid submerging them.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in a well-ventilated area, preferably with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain the original shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the upper
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift and remove surface dirt and scuffs.
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the sole
Use a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft-bristled brush to scrub the rubber outsole, wiping clean with a dry cloth immediately after.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, ensure you select the correct UK adult size for a snug but comfortable fit. Since these trainers often feature suede or leather elements, it is essential to use a protective water-repellent spray before initial wear to guard against stains and moisture.
Care Instructions:
- Remove surface dirt with a soft brush specifically designed for suede.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
- Avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe.
- Use a damp cloth for cleaning the midsole if it becomes scuffed.
