FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size, though the slim profile means individuals with wider feet may prefer going up a half size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. They lack the cushioning and motion control required for running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean suede Handball Spezial trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently brush away dirt. Avoid water, which can stain or damage the suede texture.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally fixed. If you require custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the low-profile constraints of the shoe.
What is the best way to prevent odors?
Allow your trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area after wearing and consider using moisture-absorbing inserts.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the leather or suede shape and reduce deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning light scuffs
For leather models, use a small amount of leather cleaner on a soft cloth. For suede, use a dry suede-specific brush or eraser.
Tongue sliding to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the center loop on the tongue to keep it centered during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their shape and look, proper care is essential. Since the shoes are crafted from quality leather or suede, you should avoid submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the material. For leather variants, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning, while suede versions may require a specialized suede eraser or brush to restore the nap. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading over time. Ensure the laces are loosened when taking them off to preserve the heel structure.
