FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact sports?
While originally designed for handball, these are best suited for lifestyle and casual use in modern contexts.
Do the shoes fit true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may vary.
How should I clean the suede versions?
Use a dry suede brush to lift dirt and an eraser specifically for suede to treat light stains.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray designed for suede or leather.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles can be removed if you require custom orthotics or higher-arch support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the upper
Use a specialized suede brush for suede models or a damp cloth for leather to gently lift surface debris.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap for cotton-blend laces which provide better friction than standard synthetic options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. For suede models, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt before using a specialized suede eraser for scuffs. If your pair is leather, wipe them down with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Always avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive structure and color vibrancy of the upper. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the materials.
