FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing, offering a regular fit that accommodates most foot shapes.

Can I use these for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern dedicated sports shoes offer superior technology for the sport today. These are intended primarily as lifestyle trainers.

How do I maintain the black color?

Keep the shoes out of direct, harsh sunlight when not in use and avoid using abrasive cleaning chemicals that may strip the dye.

Is the sock liner removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite sock liner can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from high-quality suede, providing a soft touch and classic vintage look.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and try a double knot if walking for extended periods.

Accumulated dirt on the gum outsole

Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution to clean the gum rubber edges, taking care to avoid getting the suede wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage aesthetic suitable for various outfits
  • High-comfort OrthoLite sock liner
  • Durable and grippy gum rubber outsole
  • Versatile unisex design
  • Secure and reliable lace-up closure

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lifestyle use, not high-performance sports

  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt or dust from the suede upper.
  2. Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black material.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, chinos, or casual joggers, making them a highly versatile addition to a casual wardrobe.
