FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a slightly roomier feel.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the adhesives holding the gum sole together. Always clean by hand.
What is the best way to protect them?
Use a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier.
Are these suitable for playing actual handball?
While originally designed for the sport, modern Handball Spezial models are primarily marketed as lifestyle footwear for daily use.
How do I maintain the gum sole?
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep the signature gum color looking clean.
Troubleshooting
Surface stains on the suede
Use a suede eraser or a soft crepe brush to gently lift and remove dirt before applying a specialized suede cleaner.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to carefully brush the nap in one direction to restore its original texture.
Water spots on the material
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, then brush the surface to restore the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as suede is highly absorbent. Use a soft-bristle brush regularly to remove dry dust and dirt from the surface to prevent staining. For deeper cleaning, utilize a suede-specific cleaning kit and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Because these are classic trainers, they pair well with both casual athletic wear and smart-casual outfits, ensuring they remain a flexible choice for your daily rotation.
