FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for gym use?

While they provide good support, they are classified as lifestyle trainers rather than performance athletic shoes and are best suited for daily wear.

How do I determine if this size fits me?

This model is listed in UK adult sizing (5.5). We recommend checking your foot length against a standard UK size chart to ensure the best fit.

Can I use these in the rain?

Suede is sensitive to moisture. We highly recommend applying a suede-specific water repellent spray before wearing them outdoors to improve resistance.

Are these unisex?

The Handball Spezial series is widely considered a unisex design, though this specific listing is categorized by a male-focused adult size profile.

What is the primary material used?

The Handball Spezial features a suede upper, which provides its signature texture and premium look.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning surface stains

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap of the suede.

Material becomes water-soaked

Stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature; avoid using heaters as high heat can warp the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Fit: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (e.g., size 5.5 as listed for this model) to prevent discomfort or premature wear on the heel area.
  2. Cleaning: Given the suede construction, avoid washing these in a machine. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaning spray to protect the material from water and stains.
  3. Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are standard unisex-adjacent, though specifically sized for male adult fitments, making them highly compatible with casual trousers, jeans, and shorts.
