FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the integrity of the shoe. Hand-cleaning with specific suede tools is recommended.

How do I know if the size is right?

The fit should be snug but comfortable, with roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can I wear these for sports?

While originally designed for handball, these are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for everyday casual wear rather than high-impact athletic activities.

How do I prevent the suede from fading?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh artificial heat sources, as these can cause the dyes to fade over time.

Do I need to break in these trainers?

Yes, it is common for suede shoes to require a short break-in period of 2-3 days of light wear to perfectly shape to your feet.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the suede surface

Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the affected area until the nap is restored.

Laces constantly coming untied

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets before fastening.

Discoloration due to water exposure

Let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature, then use a suede brush to gently lift the fibers back into position.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the instep without restricting circulation.
  2. Break-in Period: Like most premium suede footwear, the shoes may feel slightly stiff initially but will soften and conform to your foot after a few wears.
  3. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using excessive water or harsh cleaning agents.
  4. Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
