FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, you may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the glue holding the gum sole, leading to separation.
Are these suitable for playing actual handball?
While named after the sport, modern Handball Spezial trainers are intended as lifestyle fashion pieces rather than high-performance court shoes.
How do I protect the suede from water?
Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally fixed, but some users may be able to replace them with slim orthotic inserts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a consistent direction.
Surface dirt on the white suede
Gently use a dry rubber eraser to lift surface marks before brushing away the remnants.
Sole has become slippery
Wipe the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or polish that may have reduced traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, avoid getting the suede wet, as moisture can damage the texture and color. If the suede becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper stains, employ a suede-specific cleaning solution or a rubber eraser designed for footwear. When storing the shoes, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. The trainers feature standard lacing, which allows for a customizable fit across the bridge of the foot.
