FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series typically runs true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and affect the shoe structure. Use manual cleaning methods only.

Are these suitable for playing actual handball?

While based on handball heritage, this specific lifestyle variant is intended for casual use, not high-intensity professional court sports.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.

What is the material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing a soft touch and a classic matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible water or dirt spots on suede

Allow the shoe to air dry completely away from direct heat, then gently use a suede eraser or soft-bristled brush to buff away the mark.

Loose fit or heel slippage

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly if applicable, or consider using a thin aftermarket insole to improve the internal volume and fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on friendly low shoes, there is no complex setup required—simply ensure the fit matches your standard UK foot size. For care, avoid submerging the suede in water. We recommend using a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray to maintain the rich brown pigment and protect the material from environmental elements.
