FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be worn outdoors, they are specifically engineered for indoor court performance, and the suede upper may wear faster on rough terrain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the EVA insole is removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What is the Torsion System?
It is a lightweight bridge that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing better surface adaptation and stability.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Handball Spezial line is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a short period of use
The EVA tongue and inner material may need a break-in period; try wearing thinner socks initially.
Outer sole loses grip on the court
Dust and debris can build up on the rubber; wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth to restore traction.
Conflicting size information on the label
Refer directly to your UK size and confirm the fit by walking on a carpeted surface before final use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers fit correctly, please ignore external box markings initially and rely on the UK sizing provided; always test for proper length and width before discarding packaging. For maintenance, keep the leather and suede upper clean by using a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture. If they become damp, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from cracking or deforming.
