FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on a vintage court shoe design and does not feature the support or cushioning required for running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
How do I know if the size is right?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet and comparing them against the UK sizing standard to ensure a comfortable fit.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the laces with standard flat trainer laces if they become worn or if you prefer a different color.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on the suede upper
Use a suede-specific cleaning brush or an eraser to gently lift the fibers and remove surface marks.
Sole becomes slippery
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove buildup and restore traction.
Color transfer or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect against light liquid exposure.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust and debris after each use. For deep cleaning, use a dedicated suede eraser, but avoid soaking the material in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue suede to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. They are intended for casual, adult use and are not recommended for heavy physical activity or rugged terrain.
