FAQs
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and degrade the adhesives used in the cold cement construction.
Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they do not offer the support required for high-intensity training or running.
How do I protect the suede from water?
You can apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of protection against light moisture.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed for comfort, but they are generally integrated into the shoe construction. Attempting to force them out may damage the interior.
What is the sizing fit for the Handball Spezial?
They generally fit true to size, but the suede material may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the natural shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently wipe in one direction to lift dirt from the grain.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area, then brush the fibers back into place.
Sole losing traction due to debris
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit and restore the natural grip of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their premium finish, keep them away from excessive moisture. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources, which can warp the rubber or stiffen the suede. For routine cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for minor marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or machine washing, as these can damage the suede fibers and the adhesive integrity of the cold cement construction. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent colour fading.
