FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, do not put suede trainers in the washing machine as it will damage the material and the adhesive.
What is the sizing like?
The Handball Spezial generally runs true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure room for growth.
Can these be used for sports?
While they are inspired by handball, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use. Dedicated athletic footwear is recommended for intense competitive sports.
What is an OrthoLite sock liner?
It is a specialized foam insert that provides cushioning, breathability, and anti-microbial properties to keep feet cool and comfortable.
How do I remove salt or mud stains?
Allow mud to dry completely, then brush it off. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner foam sparingly.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in circular motions.
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure they are laced tightly through all eyelets and consider a double knot for extra security.
Slight discomfort during initial break-in
Wear them for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently stretch the suede to the foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers requires minimal setup but consistent care.
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the bridge of the foot without overtightening.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
- Stain Treatment: Apply a suede-safe protective spray before the first wear to guard against spills and light moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue and suede from degrading over time.
