FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should never wash suede shoes in a machine as the water and agitation will ruin the material.
Can I use these for handball or indoor sports?
While based on handball roots, they are best suited for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive indoor sports.
How do I get rid of dust on the suede?
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently wipe away surface dust.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede is not naturally waterproof. We recommend using a professional-grade suede protector spray.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is crafted from natural rubber, which provides the classic look and reliable grip associated with the Spezial series.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots or salt stains on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, then gently use a suede eraser or brush to lift the nap of the material.
Stiffness after storage
Gently flex the outsole and wear the shoes for short periods to allow the natural rubber and leather materials to soften to your foot shape again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines.
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first use to shield the material from the elements.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and colour.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the suede to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard adult foot sizing. Ensure you verify your UK sizing (Size 11) for the best fit, as the suede material provides minimal stretch compared to synthetic alternatives.
