FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?
They are designed more for lifestyle and casual wear than for high-impact gym sessions. They lack the technical cushioning required for heavy lifting or running.
How do I determine my size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or wear thicker socks, consider trying a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather or suede materials and compromise the adhesive used in the sole construction.
What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?
Both offer the same structural build, but leather is generally easier to clean, while suede provides a specific matte texture and premium look.
Is the outsole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is generally suitable for indoor courts, but check specific venue rules if you plan on using them for sports.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Use a double knot or replace with slightly longer laces if the current ones feel too short.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap of the material.
Material gets wet in the rain
Stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly; do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from suede surfaces. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for leather panels.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather or suede to protect against unexpected spills or light rain.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the low-profile design fits snugly compared to performance running shoes.
