FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the suede upper may offer a slightly more snug fit as it adapts to your foot.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by vintage sports gear and do not contain the modern cushioning required for running.
How do I maintain the grey suede?
It is recommended to use a suede protector spray before wearing them to help repel water and prevent stains.
What does COLD CEMENT technology mean?
It refers to the method of bonding the upper to the sole using high-strength adhesives, which is a traditional method used to achieve a sleek, low-profile silhouette.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim; however, the flexibility of the suede and textile materials allows for a degree of natural stretch over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material.
Soles appearing dirty
Wipe the translucent rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a microfiber cloth after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede panels. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaning solution and a damp cloth for the textile areas.
- Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and the adhesive used in the COLD CEMENT construction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colourway from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a classic silhouette that pairs well with both slim-fit jeans and casual trousers, making them highly versatile for a standard adult wardrobe.
