FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machine cycles can permanently damage the suede material and loosen the adhesives.
What is the purpose of the T-toe panel?
The T-toe is a classic design element derived from vintage handball court shoes, offering extra durability at the point of high friction.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the product features a high-quality clay cow suede leather upper.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
While the OrthoLite sockliner provides comfortable cushioning, they are a flat-profile lifestyle shoe and do not offer specialized orthopedic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris.
Material feels stiff after getting wet
Once dry, use a suede brush to gently rub the material in circular motions to restore the velvety texture.
Difficulty maintaining freshness
Remove the OrthoLite insoles occasionally to air them out and use an odor-neutralizing spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your Handball Spezial trainers, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent to protect the delicate material. Because the upper is made of cow suede, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or muddy environments. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt in the direction of the nap. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
