FAQs

Are the Handball Spezial trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, washing these in a machine can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the suede material is porous and will absorb water. It is highly recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a basic layer of water repellency.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, which provides a soft touch and distinct aesthetic.

Can these be used for professional sports?

While rooted in handball history, these modern versions are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive indoor sports.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or flat

Use a suede-specific brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the nap.

Minor stains on the suede

Use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners.

Laces coming undone

Ensure they are double-knotted or tucked behind the tongue for a cleaner look and better security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since these are lace-up sneakers, ensure a secure fit by adjusting the laces to your foot's shape without over-tightening. To keep your Handball Spezial trainers in top condition, perform regular care:

  1. Use a suede brush: Gently remove surface dust and debris after each wear.
  2. Avoid moisture: Keep the shoes away from rain and standing water.
  3. Spot clean: Use a specialized suede eraser for minor marks.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
