FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and court-style aesthetics, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid water, which can stain or damage the suede texture.
Do they run true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard adult UK sizing; however, individual foot width may require a slight adjustment in lace tension.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The leather and suede materials can be damaged by water and mud.
What is the purpose of the T-toe overlay?
The suede T-toe is a classic design element that originated for added durability and protection during indoor handball play.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede T-toe
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in a consistent direction.
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.
Slippery sole on slick surfaces
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris or dust buildup that may be reducing traction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with standard lacing. To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces to accommodate your foot volume before the first use. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water due to the leather and suede materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede T-toe. For the leather panels, wipe gently with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. We recommend using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect the toe area from light moisture and potential scuffs.
