FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not provide the cushioning or stability required for running.
How should I clean the suede versions?
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust and a suede-specific eraser to lift light stains. Avoid using excess water.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker socks, consider how that affects your preferred fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if extra arch support is needed.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant to a degree, it is not waterproof. Consider using a leather protectant spray to enhance resistance against light rain.
Are these shoes for men only?
These are generally styled for men but feature a unisex design aesthetic that works for anyone who prefers a classic, low-profile trainer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces fully starting from the bottom eyelets and re-thread to create more room for the bridge of your foot.
Suede surface shows signs of water spotting
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently restore the texture of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather and suede footwear; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- High-quality construction with durable leather or suede materials
- Versatile design suitable for various casual settings

Cons

- Low-profile silhouette offers less ankle coverage than mid or high-top styles
- Suede variants require specific cleaning products to maintain appearance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the lace-up construction allows for minor tension adjustments across the midfoot. Compatibility is high, as the brown and grey colour palette pairs well with earthy tones, denim, and neutral wardrobe staples. To maintain your trainers: 1. Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. 2. For leather models, use a damp cloth and specialized leather conditioner. 3. For suede variants, use a suede brush to lift the nap and a suede-specific eraser for spots. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping.
