FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, these are primarily designed for indoor courts. Suede is not weather-resistant and may degrade faster if used on rough outdoor concrete.
Do I need to buy a special size for these?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the internal padding may feel snug initially before it breaks in.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Washing machines can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the Adiprene components.
What is the purpose of the Torsion System?
The Torsion System is a thermoplastic arch support that allows the forefoot and heel to move independently, providing better surface adaptation and stability.
How do I maintain the suede finish?
Regularly use a dry suede brush to keep the fibers loose and free of dirt. Avoid getting the shoes wet whenever possible.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal EVA insole can typically be removed if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Sole leaving marks on court surface
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth; residue from floor dust can sometimes mimic tracking even with non-marking rubber.
Material feeling stiff
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow the EVA midsole and suede upper to naturally contour to your foot shape.
Water spots on suede
Allow to air dry naturally away from sunlight or heat, then use a suede brush to gently lift the fibers back to their original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened evenly to utilize the Torsion System effectively. These trainers are standard UK sizing. To care for your suede shoes, avoid water immersion. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each use. If scuffing occurs, a suede eraser can help restore the nap of the material. Keep the trainers away from direct heat sources when drying, as this can cause the adhesive and suede to warp.
