FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?

No, machine washing will ruin the suede material. Stick to dry brushing and professional suede-safe cleaning products.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they feature a standard regular fit. It is recommended to follow the provided UK child size guide.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole was originally designed to provide superior grip on indoor handball courts, and today it adds to the trainer's classic aesthetic.

Can the insoles be removed?

The trainers feature an integrated OrthoLite sock liner for comfort, which is typically fixed in place.

Are these suitable for playing soccer or heavy sports?

While they were born as athletic shoes, they are now considered lifestyle trainers. They lack the specific protective features required for high-impact contact sports.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a circular motion.

Surface stains appearing on the suede

Apply a suede eraser to the affected area or use a mild suede cleaner, ensuring you follow the instructions on the specific product.

Shoes feel tight across the midfoot

Adjust the lace tension by loosening the eyelets starting from the bottom of the tongue moving upwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, start by applying a suede-specific protective spray before their first wear to repel dirt and light moisture. For sizing, these are designed with a regular fit; verify the child's foot measurements against the UK sizing chart before purchase. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the suede texture and color. If the laces become worn, they can be easily replaced with standard athletic laces.
