FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find that the Handball Spezial fits true to size, though those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half a size.

Can I use these for playing handball?

While originally designed for the sport, modern handball requires specific performance technology; these are intended as lifestyle trainers.

How do I clean the white 3-Stripes?

Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently scrub the stripes, being careful not to get the suede material too wet.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof and it is recommended to use a protective spray designed for suede or leather to help repel moisture.

Where is the Spezial branding located?

The iconic Spezial branding is prominently featured on the tongue of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap.

Soles becoming slippery

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or oils collected from the ground.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence in leather and suede footwear; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, treat them as you would any premium suede or leather footwear. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud, as these elements can affect the texture of the materials. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede panels and a damp cloth for the midsole. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. The trainers pair well with jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers, making them a highly compatible addition to any wardrobe.
