FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial shoes good for playing handball?
While they are based on a handball shoe design, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or traction required for competitive handball.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first and avoid soaking the suede.
What is the primary use for the Handball Spezial today?
Today, the Handball Spezial is widely used as a casual, everyday sneaker, celebrated for its retro style and comfort.
Do these shoes come in other colors besides Blue/Red?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in a variety of colorways, including options with white, black, and other combinations, often featuring different materials.
What size should I order if I have wide feet?
The Handball Spezial generally has a standard fit. If you have wider feet, some users find ordering a half-size up provides a more comfortable fit. It's always best to check sizing charts and reviews if available.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially those with suede or leather components, as it can damage the materials and construction.
What does 'Low Shoes' mean in the product title?
'Low Shoes' refers to the silhouette, indicating that the shoe does not extend above the ankle, distinguishing it from high-top footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider stretching them with a shoe stretcher. If the issue persists, exchanging for a half-size larger might be necessary.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. For increased grip, consider walking on different surfaces to 'break in' the shoes, or consult a cobbler about potential sole treatments.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This can occur with new footwear, especially in darker colors. Wear darker socks initially, or gently wipe the inside of the shoes with a dry cloth before wearing.
