FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, they are primarily designed for indoor sports. Using them on rough outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the suede upper and rubber outsole.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For deeper stains, consult a professional suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water.

What is the benefit of the Torsion System?

The Torsion System allows the front and back of your foot to move independently, providing better surface adaptation and stability during lateral movements.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the Torsion System in the midfoot provides structural integrity and arch support that keeps the foot stable during activity.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, many variants of the Handball Spezial are designed for unisex wear; however, always verify the size based on the specific UK sizing provided.

Will the sole leave marks on my indoor gym floor?

No, the shoes are equipped with a non-marking rubber outsole specifically designed to prevent scuffs on indoor sports surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty finding the correct fit

Check the UK size label inside the tongue rather than relying on US/EU sizing printed on the box, as these may vary by region.

Surface marks appearing on suede

Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser. Do not use water or standard soap, as this can damage the suede texture.

Loss of traction on court

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can interfere with the non-marking rubber's grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent midfoot stability via the Torsion System
  • Responsive forefoot cushioning for comfort
  • Non-marking sole safe for indoor sports venues
  • Durable suede upper for a high-quality finish
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining if not protected
  • Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor trail use
  • Requires proper care to maintain surface texture
  • Sizing conventions may vary based on international labels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Handball Spezial trainers, always confirm the fit with your standard UK size, keeping in mind that international labels on the box may differ.

Care Instructions:

  1. Avoid wearing in wet or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining of the suede.
  2. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material.
  3. For light cleaning, use a suede eraser to gently remove surface marks.
  4. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or warp.
