FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the glue integrity. Stick to surface cleaning methods.

How do I choose the right size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. Refer to the UK adult or children's sizing chart provided to ensure an accurate fit.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they originated as handball shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle sneakers. They are suitable for light activity but not high-performance athletics.

Does the black suede fade over time?

Like all dyed natural materials, the black colour may fade slightly if exposed to intense, prolonged sunlight. Keep them stored in a dark, cool place when not in use.

What is the best way to protect the suede?

Apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs on the suede upper

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub away surface marks and restore the nap.

Sole losing grip

Wipe the bottom of the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dust or floor residue.

Odour buildup

Remove the insoles to air out and use an antibacterial shoe spray inside the trainer.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are largely constructed from suede, proper care is essential. To keep them looking fresh, avoid wearing them in muddy or rainy conditions, as moisture can stiffen the leather and cause water spots. If they do get dusty, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to shrink or crack. Ensure your sizing is correct by referencing the UK size guide, as these shoes offer a snug, supportive fit.
