FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be worn outdoors, the suede upper is sensitive to rain and mud, and the outsole is optimized primarily for indoor court surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for a regular fit. If you prefer extra room for thicker sports socks, consider your typical athletic shoe size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede-specific water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
What is the purpose of the Torsion System?
The Torsion System is designed to allow the front and back of the foot to move independently, providing improved stability and surface adaptation.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole losing traction
Clean the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or resin from the court.
Suede appears dull or worn
Use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the material and restore its natural texture.
Laces coming untied during play
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the top eyelet to secure the fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip on indoor surfaces due to non-marking rubber outsole
- High-impact protection via Adiprene+ technology
- Stylish aesthetic that transitions well from court to casual wear
- Reinforced forefoot durability with adiTUFF
- Balanced support for lateral stability
Cons
- Suede material is prone to staining and water damage

- Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based athletic shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial shoes perform consistently, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The shoes feature a regular fit with a traditional lace closure; ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to impede circulation.
- Cleaning: Given the suede construction, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a damp cloth, allowing the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded debris to maintain optimal grip. If the shoe becomes damp, remove the insole and stuff the interior with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
