FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause permanent damage to the suede material and affect the adhesive bonds in the sole.
What is the best way to clean the linen green suede?
Use a dry cleaning kit designed for suede, including a soft-bristled brush and a gum eraser for spot cleaning.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, they are currently positioned as lifestyle trainers and may not offer the high-impact protection of modern professional indoor court shoes.
Does the silver accent fade over time?
With proper care and by avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, the silver accents are designed to maintain their appearance through regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a circular motion.
Light surface stains on suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface marks without using water.
Outsole loses traction over time
Clean the bottom of the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris and restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard adult fit. To ensure longevity, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before the first wear to protect against light rain and dirt. If the shoes become dusty, use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Avoid cleaning with heavy water or machine washing, as this can degrade the suede finish and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the linen green dye.
