FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the technical support required for long-distance or high-impact running.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the suede colour from fading.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to machine wash suede shoes, as water and detergent can ruin the texture and shape.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to size, but consider the structure of the suede when selecting your fit.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the traditional gum rubber sole is designed to be non-marking for indoor use.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dusty or dull

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Stains on the suede

Apply a suede eraser to the affected area or use a mild suede-specific cleaner.

Laces becoming loose

Double-knot the laces or swap them for a slightly longer pair if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for frequent daily wear
  • Classic vintage design that fits various fashion styles
  • Comfortable cushioning for all-day support
  • Sturdy gum sole offers reliable grip

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining in wet or muddy conditions
  • Requires specialized cleaning tools compared to leather trainers
  • Limited water resistance due to the suede finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since these trainers arrive pre-laced, setup is minimal—simply adjust the laces to your desired tension for a secure fit. The Handball Spezial pairs exceptionally well with casual attire like denim or chinos, fitting into a variety of wardrobes. To care for your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt regularly. If a deeper clean is needed, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit and avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the material. Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
