FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series generally runs true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive in the sole. Always hand-clean with appropriate products.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium, durable suede.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim. Those with significantly wider feet may find it helpful to size up by half a size.

Does the OrthoLite sockliner come out?

Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to insert custom orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping the suede clean

Use a specialized suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time to create a barrier against moisture and dirt.

Tongue shifting while walking

Ensure the laces are threaded through the small loop found on the center of the tongue to keep it securely in place.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce the appearance of deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and smart-casual outfits
  • OrthoLite sockliner offers superior underfoot comfort
  • Durable gum rubber outsole provides reliable traction
  • Classic aesthetic remains timeless in the sneaker market

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and staining
  • Light-colored beige accents can show dirt more easily than darker alternatives
  • Not suitable for high-intensity modern athletic training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their quality, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: The suede upper will naturally soften and mold to your foot shape after a few wears.
  2. Care: Avoid wearing in heavy rain or mud. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks.
  3. Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources and store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from hardening.
  4. Lacing: Adjust the secure lace closure to your preference, ensuring the tongue is centered for maximum comfort across the instep.
