FAQs
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing will permanently damage the velvet material. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While based on a handball shoe, the modern velvet iteration is intended for lifestyle use and lacks the high-performance stability features of modern court-specific footwear.
Does the velvet material fade easily?
To prevent color fading, keep the shoes out of prolonged direct sunlight when storing.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally runs true to size, but we recommend trying them on with your preferred sock thickness to ensure a proper fit.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the velvet is not waterproof and should be protected from rain and spills to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the velvet upper
Use a specialized velvet brush to lift dirt and restore the direction of the fibers.
Creasing near the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original shape.
Light stains on fabric
Dab the area with a slightly damp, clean cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Do not soak the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers utilize a delicate velvet finish, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. If the material becomes wet, allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can warp or damage the velvet nap. For sizing, ensure you consult the specific UK size guidelines for your pair, as the fit is standard for the Handball Spezial series but can vary slightly depending on your foot shape.
