FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not as a technical running shoe.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, yes. Most users find that their standard UK shoe size fits well, though individual preference for toe room may vary.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth to buff the scuffed area. For stubborn marks, a small amount of leather conditioner can help restore the finish.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the suede or leather upper. Always hand clean them.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, in many iterations of this model, the insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics.
What is the primary difference between the leather and suede versions?
The primary difference is maintenance and aesthetic; leather is typically easier to wipe clean, while suede offers a more textured, matte look.
Troubleshooting
The trainers are slippery on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, exercise caution on polished floors or icy conditions. Ensure the tread is clean of debris.
Suede material has developed water stains
Use a specialized suede eraser or a light steam treatment followed by brushing in one direction to lift the nap.
The fit feels too tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser or remove the factory insole to create more volume inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers involves a simple but consistent care routine. Since these shoes are made with premium materials like suede and leather, it is important to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If your trainers become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from suede. For leather models, wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for suede or leather shortly after purchase to shield the material against moisture and stains. Always ensure laces are untied before removing the shoes to preserve the integrity of the heel collar.
