FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most users.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, washing machine cycles can ruin the suede material and glue; always use manual cleaning methods.

Are they suitable for gym workouts?

They are designed for casual lifestyle wear and lack the technical support required for heavy gym training.

How do I remove dry mud?

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush.

Do they provide good arch support?

The model features a flat design with minimal arch support; you may add an aftermarket insole if you require more cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Scuffs on the midsole

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the rubber gum sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezials last, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt.
  2. Stain Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to create a protective barrier.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the Solar Yellow hue to fade over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, chinos, or casual sportswear, making them a staple for a relaxed wardrobe.
