FAQs

What is the primary intended use of the Handball Spezial?

Originally designed for indoor handball, they are now widely adopted as a stylish and comfortable everyday trainer for streetwear.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic training or sports?

While they offer good grip and comfort for casual wear, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or intense athletic training beyond their original handball purpose.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for minor marks. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by air drying and brushing.

Do the colours bleed, especially the blue?

While reputable brands aim to minimize colour bleeding, it is advisable to keep suede away from excessive moisture and to be cautious, especially with darker colours, during initial wears or if they get wet.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of gum rubber, which provides excellent durability and traction.

Can I wear these with orthotics or custom insoles?

The insole is typically removable or has enough space to accommodate some thinner aftermarket insoles or orthotics, but this can vary based on the specific insert.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from suede, contributing to its classic look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a professional stretching service if the material allows. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult sizing charts if unsure.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, then allow to air dry and brush again.

Gum sole is slippery on wet surfaces

While the gum sole offers good traction, it may be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
