FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-impact athletic running.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush and avoid getting the shoes completely soaked in water.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizing, but you should always refer to your personal measurements.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently lift the nap of the suede in circular motions.
Water spots or light stains on the upper
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser to gently rub away the affected area.
Dirt on the gum rubber sole
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. For daily care, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust and restore the nap of the material. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Regarding compatibility, these shoes pair effortlessly with jeans, chinos, or casual shorts, making them a highly adaptable addition to any male wardrobe.
