FAQs
Is the Handball Spezial good for outdoor sports?
These shoes are designed primarily for indoor handball and court surfaces. The suede upper and rubber outsole are not optimized for asphalt or concrete.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never wash suede shoes in a machine. Water and heavy agitation can permanently ruin the material and shape of the shoe.
How do I maintain the blue color?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use and consider using a suede color restorer spray if the color begins to fade.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the integrated TORSION® SYSTEM provides robust arch support and midfoot integrity.
Is the fit true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to UK sizing standards, though the suede may provide a slightly snug feel initially compared to synthetic materials.
What does the non-marking outsole mean?
It means the rubber compound is formulated to prevent scuffing or leaving marks on indoor gym or sports hall floors.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Inner lining feels slightly tight
The EVA tongue and insole will compress and mold to your foot shape after a few wearings; avoid overtightening the laces.
Outsole losing traction
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or court debris that may inhibit grip.
