FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they feature a slim silhouette, those with wider feet may prefer to size up.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are suitable for light training and weightlifting due to their flat, stable sole, they are not recommended for running or high-impact cardio.
How do I care for the coloured material?
Keep them dry and use a suede-safe cleaning spray if necessary to protect the colour vibrancy.
Is this a unisex model?
While listed for males, the Handball Spezial series is a classic design frequently worn by all genders.
Does the red colour fade over time?
As with any dyed fabric, excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Storing them in a dark closet helps maintain their original hue.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on upper
Use a specialized soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt without damaging the material.
Uncomfortable fit during long periods
Consider inserting a low-profile aftermarket orthotic insole to enhance arch support.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality construction for longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, clean them regularly by wiping down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals on the suede or synthetic upper. For long-term wear, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. If the laces become worn, they are easily replaceable with standard flat athletic laces. Compatibility with your current wardrobe is high, as the bold red and blue profile acts as a statement piece when paired with neutral trousers or dark denim.
