FAQs

What is the original purpose of the Handball Spezial?

The Handball Spezial was originally designed in 1979 as a professional indoor handball shoe.

What materials are these shoes made of?

The upper is primarily made of soft suede, with leather for the 3-Stripes and heel tab, and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water and consider using a suede protector spray for maintenance.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While they are inspired by a handball shoe, their current iteration is primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear and may not offer the specific performance features required for competitive sports.

What does the 'regular fit' mean?

Regular fit indicates a standard width and volume, suitable for most average foot shapes.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as the material can be easily damaged by water. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but dryness is best for longevity.

What is the main difference between this updated version and the original?

This version updates the original design with a fresh, bright color palette and focuses on lifestyle wearability, while retaining the core heritage elements like the suede construction and iconic 3-Stripes.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Apply a suede protector spray for preventative care.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Ensure laces are the appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets. Try a double knot for extra security. Consider replacing worn-out laces.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. The chevron pattern is designed for traction, so ensure it's clean.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to provide a snug but not constricting fit.
