FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While based on handball shoes, this model is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than competitive athletic performance.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing; however, since they are suede, they may soften slightly with wear.

What is the best way to protect the suede?

Apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray, ensuring you follow the instructions on the product label.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as water can cause the suede to stiffen or stain.

How do I remove stubborn stains?

Use a specialized suede cleaning kit or consult a professional shoe cleaner to avoid ruining the material's texture.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dry dirt on the suede

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the affected area in a back-and-forth motion to lift debris.

Water spots on the material

Allow the shoe to air dry completely, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the texture.

Loss of colour vibrancy

Use a suede-safe color restorer spray to gently refresh the brown pigment.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their condition, focus on proper storage and maintenance. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown suede over time. For care, use a suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt and maintain the nap of the material. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators. We recommend using a water-repellent spray designed for suede before the first use to add an extra layer of protection against light moisture.
