FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they feature a regular fit and generally correspond to standard adult sizing.

Can I use these for playing handball?

While rooted in handball heritage, these are lifestyle versions intended for casual wear and lack the modern technological support needed for competitive play.

How do I keep the suede clean?

Keep them dry, brush regularly, and use a suede-specific spray protector to help repel light dirt.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, do not put your trainers in the washing machine as this can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber sole?

The gum rubber sole provides the iconic vintage look of the original 1979 design and offers excellent grip for casual everyday walking.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dusty

Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede cleaning block to lift the nap.

Difficulty maintaining a snug fit

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to ensure even distribution across the midfoot.

General light surface stains

Use a specialized suede eraser to target marks, rubbing gently in one direction.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality suede material offers a premium tactile feel
  • Durable gum rubber outsole is ideal for daily walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is essential.

  1. Setup: The trainers come with a regular fit; if you prefer a looser feel, consider wearing thinner socks, though the standard fit is generally true to size for most adults.
  2. Compatibility: These shoes pair well with casual apparel such as jeans, shorts, and joggers. They are ideal for lifestyle use rather than athletic training.
  3. Care Instructions: To preserve the suede upper, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive and suede texture.
