FAQs
Can I wear these for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed for casual lifestyle use and lacks the support and cushioning necessary for running.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The suede material is porous; it is recommended to apply a protective spray, but they are not waterproof.
How do I clean the gum sole?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to wipe away dirt from the rubber edges.
Is the sizing consistent?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug vs. relaxed fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush or gum eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double knot for a more secure fit.
Suede color looks dull
Gently brushing the suede in a consistent direction can restore the nap and revitalize the color appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before wearing them for the first time to shield the material from dirt and moisture.
- Cleaning: For dry stains, use a soft-bristled suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede over time.
- Fit: These trainers fit true to size for most users. Use the laces to adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot to find your optimal comfort level.
