FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the structure of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning with a suede-appropriate kit.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed as handball shoes in the 1970s, modern versions like this are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual fashion use.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should remain stable in the shoe without slipping, and there should be a small amount of room for your toes to move. Always check the UK size label inside the shoe.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is best to avoid heavy rain. Suede is sensitive to moisture, and prolonged exposure can ruin the finish and cause water stains.
What should I do if I get a stain on the suede?
Try a suede eraser for dry stains. Avoid using soap and water, as this will likely leave a permanent mark on the material.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the fibers in a consistent direction.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure they are laced tightly; if the issue persists, double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction cotton laces.
Fit feels slightly too tight
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace the shoe to allow for more volume across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, keep the following in mind:
- Sizing Check: Always try on your footwear indoors first. Be mindful that the box label may reflect US or Euro sizing, which can differ from your UK 5.5 sizing.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt after use. Avoid getting the shoes soaked in water, as this can stiffen or stain the suede material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Consider using a reputable suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to add a protective barrier against minor spills.
