FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial features a relatively slim, classic profile, so individuals with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up for a more comfortable fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never wash suede trainers in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will permanently ruin the material and shape of the shoe.

What is the primary material used?

The Handball Spezial uses high-quality suede for the upper construction, paired with a durable gum rubber sole.

How do I maintain the brown colour?

Use a suede-safe color restorer spray if the colour appears to fade over time due to sun exposure.

Are these performance sports shoes?

While they were originally designed for handball, they are now intended primarily as lifestyle fashion footwear.

Troubleshooting

Surface stains on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the stain from the nap of the material.

Material feels stiff after cleaning

Once dry, use a clean suede brush to buff the material in multiple directions, which helps to soften the fibers and restore the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size. To keep your suede footwear in optimal condition, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can permanently damage the texture of the suede. We recommend using a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking or warping. For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaning solution.
