FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for athletic running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dry dirt. Avoid using water or soap.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing a soft touch and distinct vintage look.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing, allowing you to select your typical size for the best fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are the insoles removable?
While the shoes are designed for comfort as-is, some users may find they can replace the insoles with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a dry suede brush to buff the area.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stuck in sole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently dislodge debris from the gum outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, it is essential to treat the suede upper with a protective water-repellent spray before the first wear. Since the material is prone to absorbing liquids, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions. When cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the fabric; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical detergents. For sizing, these trainers align with standard UK adult measurements, so choosing your usual size is recommended for a comfortable fit.
