FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage sports and is not intended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

You can clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid getting soap on the suede upper.

Is the sizing true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider this when selecting your UK size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing will damage the suede material and the glue used in the sole construction. Always clean by hand.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede can absorb water and stain easily; if they do get wet, dry them slowly at room temperature.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dusty

Gently use a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the fibers and remove surface dust.

Water spots on the material

Lightly dampen the entire area with a cloth, then blot with a dry towel and allow to air dry completely.

Laces coming undone

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets to maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers starts with a proper fit; use the secure lace-up system to adjust tension according to your preference. For care, avoid submerging the suede in water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the nap looking fresh. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping. To protect them from stains, applying a reputable suede-safe water repellent spray is recommended before your first wear.
