FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on vintage indoor court shoes and does not have the technical support required for running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean by hand.

What is the fit like?

They feature a regular fit that corresponds to standard UK sizing, providing a comfortable, true-to-size experience for most users.

How should I store them to keep the suede looking new?

Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, preferably stuffed with tissue paper or a shoe tree to retain their shape.

Are they water-resistant?

The suede upper is not naturally water-resistant. It is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray to provide a barrier against water and dirt.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede surface

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently work away debris in the direction of the nap.

Shoes feel tight across the midfoot

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to customize the width.

Soles appearing dusty or dull

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp, lint-free cloth to restore its grip and aesthetic shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to use your regular size for the best fit.
  • Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light rain and incidental spills.
  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
