FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adult users.

Can I use these for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball in 1979, modern players should opt for dedicated performance court shoes for better technical support.

How do I clean suede?

Use a suede brush or a dedicated suede eraser kit to remove surface stains; do not machine wash.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite sock liner can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.

What material are the trainers made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, featuring a durable gum rubber outsole.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

They offer standard support sufficient for casual daily wear, though they are a low-profile shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the material.

Laces coming undone

Ensure a double-knot or check for lace length, as the flat laces are designed to stay secure when pulled firm.

Dirt on gum sole

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that might discolor the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Use a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first wear to guard against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
  3. Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as this can fade the grey and black tones.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair perfectly with slim-fit jeans, chinos, or track pants for a classic athletic-casual look.
