FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider sizing up by half.
Can I use these for handball or gym workouts?
While rooted in handball history, this is now a lifestyle shoe. It lacks the modern cushioning and lateral support required for competitive court sports.
How do I clean the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards.
Is the material real suede?
Yes, the product is constructed using high-quality suede as the primary outer fabric.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and degrade the sole's adhesive, which will significantly shorten the lifespan of your trainers.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in a variety of colorways, including leather and suede variants, depending on the specific release.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks worn or flattened
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Stubborn spots on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the area; avoid using water or household soaps.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard flat athletic laces, ensuring the length matches the original to maintain the classic look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, treat them with a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. If they become dusty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the fabric. In case of localized stains, use a dedicated suede eraser. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the material and the adhesive bonding of the rubber sole. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige color from fading over time.
