FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle shoe based on an indoor court design and does not provide the cushioning required for long-distance running.

How do I choose the right size?

These trainers generally fit true to size based on standard UK measurements. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up by a half size.

Can these be washed in a machine?

It is highly recommended not to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the materials and glue, leading to premature wear.

Are they made of leather or suede?

The Handball Spezial line features variants in both leather and suede; check your specific pair's label for the primary upper material.

What surfaces are they best for?

They are designed for flat indoor or urban surfaces; avoid rough, rocky terrain to preserve the sole.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe area

This is common with leather and suede trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Surface dirt on suede

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean rubber eraser to lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Laces coming undone

The flat laces can occasionally slip; double-knotting or using a secure lacing pattern can prevent this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • Lightweight and comfortable for daily use
  • Versatile color palette
  • High-quality construction from a reputable brand

Cons

  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated modern running shoes
  • Not suitable for high-impact outdoor sports
  • Suede/leather variants require careful maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come in various material finishes like leather and suede, care instructions vary slightly. For general maintenance, keep them dry and avoid wearing them in heavy rain, especially the suede versions. If they get dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For leather components, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. When choosing your size, remember these follow standard UK men's sizing; if you plan to wear thick socks, consider how the slim fit of the Spezial model conforms to your foot shape.
