Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper maintenance is essential, especially given the suede construction. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the suede texture. To clean, use a soft-bristle brush specifically designed for suede to remove dust and dirt gently. For deeper cleaning, utilize a suede-specific eraser or cleaning solution. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, these trainers have a classic fit, so it is recommended to stick to your standard UK shoe size.
