FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit that matches standard sizing expectations for most adult users.
Can I wear these for running outdoors?
These are designed for indoor court sports and casual wear; the outsole and support structures are not built for long-distance outdoor running.
How do I protect the suede from water?
We recommend applying a high-quality, water-repellent suede spray specifically designed for footwear before wearing them.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They offer moderate arch support suitable for most activities, though users with severe overpronation may prefer aftermarket insoles.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics for a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel and prevent friction.
Difficulty cleaning liquid spills
Blot (do not rub) the area immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: These shoes use a standard lace closure. For optimal performance, lace them firmly to lock the heel in place.
- Compatibility: They are designed for indoor use. Avoid using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces like asphalt, which can prematurely wear down the soft outsole.
- Care Instructions: Never machine wash your suede shoes. Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for spot cleaning stubborn marks. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from hardening.
