FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle shoe intended for casual, daily wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact training.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to machine wash suede footwear, as it can ruin the material texture and structure.

How do I maintain the suede finish?

Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush and use a water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede to protect against moisture.

Does this shoe provide good arch support?

The shoe features standard cushioning for comfort, but those requiring significant arch support may consider adding custom insoles.

What is the difference between the material options?

The Handball Spezial series is available in both suede and leather uppers, with suede offering a softer, textured look and leather providing easier maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners.

Scuff marks on the gum sole

Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the original appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial sneakers remain in optimal condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water, as this may damage the material. For leather components, a damp cloth can be used to wipe away debris. Check the sizing carefully, as these low shoes are designed for a snug, secure fit; if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider testing for a half-size adjustment if available.
