FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the silhouette is slim. If you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never machine wash suede shoes. Water and mechanical agitation will damage the texture and color of the suede.
Are these suitable for playing actual handball?
While based on an indoor court shoe, the current model is designed as a fashion trainer. Modern performance shoes provide better support for high-intensity sports.
How do I remove mud from the suede?
Let the mud dry completely first, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush. Avoid using water as it may push the dirt deeper into the fibers.
Is the sole durable?
The gum rubber sole is durable for daily street wear and offers reliable grip on most dry, flat surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on suede
Allow to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and buff out the marks.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently sweep away loose particles in the direction of the grain.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence for suede terrace shoes; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of premium suede, proper care is essential. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud to prevent permanent discoloration and water staining. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly, and consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to add a protective layer. For cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a foam cleaner formulated for delicate materials, gently dabbing rather than rubbing to protect the nap. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant yellow color from fading over time.
