FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and daily activity, not for running or high-impact athletics.
How do I choose between leather and suede?
Leather is generally easier to clean and more weather-resistant, while suede offers a softer texture and a more classic vintage appearance.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the low-profile fit may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the leather or suede materials.
What is the benefit of the gum sole?
The gum rubber outsole provides superior grip and durability, which was essential for the shoe's original use on indoor court surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Sole losing grip
Wipe the rubber gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris accumulation.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to maintain the shape of the T-toe area.
Suede looks dull
Gently use a suede-specific brush to lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, start by ensuring you have the correct size; the shoe typically fits true to size but should be snug around the midfoot. For care, if you have the suede variant, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and apply a water-repellent spray to protect against light rain. For leather models, wipe away debris with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber outsole or damage the leather upper.
