FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the suede construction may allow for a slight stretch after a few wears.
Can I wear these for running?
No, these are designed for lifestyle wear and indoor court use; they do not provide the necessary support or impact protection required for long-distance running.
How do I remove salt stains from the suede?
Gently blot the area with a cloth dampened with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar, then allow to air dry and brush the nap back up.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
It features a stable base via the Torsion System, but it is not a dedicated orthopaedic shoe. You may add custom insoles if you require specific arch support.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the factory laces with any standard length athletic lace that matches your preferred style.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush in circular motions to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing them with high-friction cotton laces.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat, then brush gently with a suede brush to even out the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers involves a proper fit and consistent maintenance. Ensure the lace closure is adjusted to your preference—tight enough to prevent heel slippage but loose enough for circulation. Because these trainers are made of suede, they are not machine washable.
To care for your shoes:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust after each wear.
- Apply a suede-specific protective spray to create a barrier against light moisture.
- Keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, as this can crack or stiffen the suede.
- Use a suede eraser for targeted removal of minor surface scuffs.
