FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the low-profile design may feel snug for those with wider feet.

Can I use these for sports?

While they originated on the handball court in 1979, they are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers and lack the modern support needed for competitive athletics.

How do I protect the suede?

We recommend applying a high-quality suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for better arch support.

How do I clean the white sections?

Use a gentle shoe cleaning solution and a soft cloth, taking care not to let the cleaner soak into the surrounding suede.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs on the suede material

Use a dry suede eraser to gently buff the scuffed area until the texture is restored.

Difficulty maintaining grip

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris.

Water spots on suede

Pat dry immediately with a clean towel and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • Reliable gum rubber grip
  • Versatile for casual styling

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Low-profile design offers less arch support than performance runners
  • Requires specific cleaning tools for proper maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the upper is crafted from suede, keep these shoes away from harsh rainy conditions or deep mud. To care for your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and an eraser block to lift stains. Avoid using a washing machine, as the water and agitation can damage the suede texture and the adhesive. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the black and white colours from fading over time.
