FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While named for the sport, the modern Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical performance features required for competitive indoor sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner foam, allowing the material to air dry completely away from heat sources.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is absorbent. It is highly recommended to use a suede protector spray before wearing them in damp conditions.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to the standard UK adult sizing provided, though the silhouette is inherently slim.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the interior insoles are removable, which allows for the insertion of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the affected area with a suede-specific brush in a circular motion to lift the fibers.
Minor scuffs on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the rubber perimeter; avoid getting the suede upper wet.
Uncomfortable fit after long periods
Adjust the lace tightness to reduce pressure on the top of the foot or swap for insoles with higher arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust and restore the nap after every few wears.
- Stain Prevention: Apply a protective water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to shield against light moisture.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine; use specialized suede cleaners and a soft cloth for targeted spot cleaning.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the suede fabric.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may find the slim profile snug.
