FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial features a slim, heritage fit. Many users prefer going up a half size if they have wider feet.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers. They lack the cushioning and support required for modern running or high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede elements?

Use a dry suede eraser for spot cleaning and a soft brush to keep the fibers looking fresh. Avoid water exposure.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, while listed with specific sizing, the design is suitable for both men and women.

What surfaces are they best for?

They perform best on indoor surfaces, pavement, and standard walking environments.

Do they provide good arch support?

They offer standard, minimal arch support typical of vintage-style court shoes. You may use your own orthotic insoles if additional support is needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'wide-foot' lacing style to reduce pressure across the top of the foot.

Surface dirt accumulation on the material

Use a specialized suede brush for any suede detailing, moving in one direction to lift dirt without damaging the texture.

  • Sophisticated green and brown color coordination
  • Durable build quality for longevity

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning on the upper. For the suede or leather components, apply a dedicated protector spray prior to first wear to guard against moisture and stains. Given the slim nature of the design, these shoes pair exceptionally well with tapered denim or chinos. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the richness of the green and brown tones.
