FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size for comfort.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive components of the shoe. Stick to manual cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for running?
No, while they were originally court shoes, they lack the high-impact shock absorption and stability required for modern long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray designed specifically for suede immediately after purchase and periodically thereafter.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, while the outsole is made from durable rubber.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely, then use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface debris.
Insole comfort diminished over time
The OrthoLite sock liner is removable; you can replace it with a new third-party insole if you require additional arch support or extra cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from suede, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance. Avoid wearing them during heavy rainfall or in muddy conditions, as water and dirt can stain the material permanently. For general maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the suede regularly. If deep cleaning is required, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray before initial wear to create a barrier against the elements. The trainers feature a standard lace-up closure which allows for a customized, secure fit; ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference to maintain stability while walking.
