FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to size, though the narrow silhouette may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are casual lifestyle trainers and do not contain the cushioning or support necessary for distance running.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the materials used are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light moisture.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
You can clean the rubber outsole using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Because of the slim, retro-inspired shape, they may feel tight for users with wider feet; consider sizing up by a half-size if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its original shape.
Dirt stains on the cream surface
Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff away surface marks without water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential, especially given the cream colourway. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and suede textures. Instead, clean the uppers with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, taking care not to saturate the material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading or material stiffening. Pair these trainers with tapered denim or chinos to best complement their slim, athletic profile.
