FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
While originally designed as a handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily intended as a lifestyle and fashion trainer.
How should I clean the cream-coloured details?
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the areas, ensuring you do not soak the surrounding suede.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most users, though the suede may stretch slightly over time to fit your foot shape.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended, as water can stain and damage the suede material. Always use a protective spray to improve resistance.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede with contrasting synthetic or leather details.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently lift the nap and dislodge debris.
Water spots or light stains
Blot with a clean cloth, then apply a suede-specific eraser to lift the stain once completely dry.
Creasing at the forefoot
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the material maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Handball Spezial uses suede, moisture management is essential for longevity. Before wearing them, apply a reputable water-repellent spray designed for suede to prevent water damage and dirt accumulation. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this will damage the texture of the suede. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
