FAQs
Is the Handball Spezial MIG suitable for sports?
While based on a handball silhouette, this "Made in Germany" version is intended for lifestyle and casual fashion rather than intense athletic use.
How do I maintain the metallic silver details?
Gently wipe the silver accents with a clean, slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the finish.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally has a slim, retro-inspired fit. If you prefer a roomier feel, some users opt for a half-size larger than their standard athletic shoe.
Can I use a waterproofing spray?
Yes, you may use a high-quality, clear suede-specific waterproofing spray. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
What does MIG stand for in the product title?
MIG stands for 'Made in Germany,' indicating that this particular version was produced with specialized craftsmanship and premium materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently wipe in one direction to lift the fibers and remove particles.
Minor water spotting on the exterior
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using hair dryers or radiators, which can make the suede stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. Avoid exposure to heavy rain or mud, as water can stain the suede material.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Using a shoe tree will help maintain the shape of the toe box.
- Cleaning: For deeper stains, use a professional-grade suede cleaner. Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this will damage the adhesive and the delicate suede fibers.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard adult sizes. Since they feature a narrow vintage profile, ensure your size UK 8.5 is accurate for your foot shape to avoid unnecessary creasing or material stretch.
