FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and are not engineered for running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid applying water directly to the suede.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are typically removable if you wish to insert custom orthotics for added arch support.

Are these waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof and it is recommended to avoid heavy rain to maintain the material quality.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

This is common with leather/suede hybrid construction; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.

Laces coming untied

Double knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured laces for better grip.

General surface staining

Use a specialized suede brush or a dry-cleaning eraser for the upper materials to avoid liquid damage.

  • Lightweight feel perfect for all-day wear
  • High-quality construction and materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in top condition, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity and material finish. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you plan on wearing thicker socks, consider that the low-profile upper may feel snug.
