FAQs

Are the Handball Spezial trainers true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to measure your foot to align with UK sizing standards.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather or suede materials and compromise the adhesive; hand cleaning is strongly recommended.

What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?

The leather version offers a smoother, water-resistant finish, while the suede provides a softer, matte texture that is more susceptible to water damage.

Are these shoes intended for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now primarily marketed as lifestyle footwear for casual, indoor, or light activity use.

How do I maintain the vibrant colors?

Keep the shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent color fading and use protective sprays designed for colored footwear.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty finding the right size for specific material

Check the specific size listing carefully as leather and suede versions of the same model number may vary.

Outer material showing dirt or scuffs

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner appropriate for the specific upper material, such as suede eraser or leather-safe wipes.

Sole grip feels slippery

Wipe the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or residue that can compromise traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Available in a variety of material finishes including leather and suede
  • Provides a secure and stable fit consistent with classic trainer standards

  • Specific colorways and sizes sell out quickly due to series popularity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, it is important to treat them according to their specific outer material. For suede models, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust and a protective spray to guard against moisture. Leather versions can be wiped down with a damp cloth and treated with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Always ensure the laces are properly adjusted to your preferred tension before walking. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging when not in use, and avoid direct exposure to extreme heat, which can warp the adhesive bonds of the sole.
