FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Handball Spezial?
While originally designed for handball, these sneakers are best suited for casual wear, everyday activities, and light training due to their comfort and style.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Handball Spezial are lifestyle sneakers and do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow them to air dry.
Do these sneakers come in other colours?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is available in various colourways, though this specific guide focuses on the Carbon, Core Black, and Gum4 option.
What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability, and it contributes to the classic, retro aesthetic of the shoe.
How long does it typically take to break in these shoes?
Most users find that the shoes become more comfortable after a few wears, typically within a week, as the materials start to mold to the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. The materials will soften and conform to your foot shape over time.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used.
Outsole has poor grip on wet surfaces
The gum rubber outsole offers best performance on dry to slightly damp surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery conditions.
