FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, suede shoes should not be machine washed as the water can warp the material and ruin the finish.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the suede may feel snug initially and will stretch slightly with wear.

Can these be worn for sports?

While they originated as handball shoes, they are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for everyday casual wear.

How do I remove mud from the suede?

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush. Do not rub wet mud into the material.

Are they suitable for rainy weather?

It is best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain as water can cause staining and stiffening of the leather.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede eraser or a clean, soft brush to gently buff the scuff in the direction of the grain.

Difficulty putting on the shoes

Ensure the laces are fully loosened; since the shoe has a low profile, extra slack is needed to allow the foot to slide into the heel cup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable gum rubber outsole for superior grip
  • Soft, high-quality suede material for comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for various outfits
  • Classic 70s styling that remains fashionable

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Light beige color shows dirt more easily than darker alternatives
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or high-intensity training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezials last, keep them away from heavy mud or water, as suede can be permanently damaged by liquid exposure. For routine care, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these are suede trainers, consider applying a specialized water-repellent suede protector spray before wearing them outdoors to create a barrier against light splashes and stains.
