FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, but those who prefer extra space for thicker socks may consider a half-size increase.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing will ruin the suede upper and can degrade the sole adhesive.

Are these suitable for running?

These are lifestyle trainers based on heritage court designs; they are not intended for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I protect the light-coloured suede?

Apply a high-quality suede-safe water and stain repellent spray, and try to avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions.

What is the best way to store the trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or loose dirt on the suede

Use a specialized soft suede brush to gently lift and remove surface particles.

Minor scuffs on the suede material

Use a suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area until the nap is restored.

The shoe feels slightly stiff upon arrival

Wear them indoors for short periods with thick socks to naturally break in the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Handball Spezials, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; suede often relaxes slightly over time. For daily care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the surface to prevent it from settling into the suede fibers. If you encounter minor marks, a dedicated suede eraser is recommended. We advise applying a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before initial use to provide a basic protective barrier against the elements. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat drying, as these methods can permanently damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
