FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the suede upper may offer a slightly snug feel initially.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid the washing machine as the water and agitation will ruin the suede material.

Is the sole really non-marking?

Yes, the rubber compound is designed specifically for indoor court usage to ensure no scuffs or marks are left on sports floors.

What is the TORSION® SYSTEM for?

It provides a lightweight bridge that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, offering superior stability and arch support.

Are these suitable for outdoor sports?

While durable, the Handball Spezial is optimized for indoor court performance and the suede exterior is not weather-resistant for outdoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a clean eraser to gently restore the nap of the material.

Minor scuffs on the suede

Use a gum eraser specifically designed for suede to gently buff out marks.

Odour buildup inside the shoe

Remove the insoles to air out and sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe overnight to neutralize smells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and colour.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shape after a long day of use.
  • Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before initial use to add a protective barrier against minor spills.
  • Surface Compatibility: While the non-marking rubber outsole is excellent for indoor wood or synthetic gym floors, avoid using the shoes on rough asphalt or gravel, which can prematurely wear down the rubber and damage the suede.
