FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the adhesives. Always hand clean with a soft brush and damp cloth.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial typically fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for sports?
While rooted in 1970s sporting history, this model is now intended for lifestyle and casual use, not intensive court sports.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
It is recommended to use a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first wear to help protect the material.
What is COLD CEMENT technology?
This is a durable manufacturing process used to bond the upper to the sole, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the suede.
Rubber sole has minor scuffs
Use a damp cloth with a mild eraser to buff out surface-level marks on the translucent rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size for most users. Because the upper features suede components, avoid machine washing or heavy water exposure. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt gently. For the textile sections, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading.
