FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial trainers feature a regular fit, which typically runs true to standard UK sizing.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for manual spot cleaning.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
While originally designed for handball, modern iterations are intended for casual lifestyle use rather than high-intensity competitive sports.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use, but test on a small, hidden area first.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?
The OrthoLite liner provides enhanced cushioning and air circulation, keeping your feet comfortable and cool throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and lift away surface debris.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets and consider a double knot if the material is slippery.
Minor scuffs on the gum sole
Gently rub the marks with a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their look, use a high-quality suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If the suede becomes stained, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Since these shoes feature a standard lacing system, you can easily adjust the tension to accommodate your specific foot width for a personalized fit.
