FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual walking and daily wear, not for running or intensive athletic sports.

How do I keep the cream/white details clean?

Use a damp microfiber cloth for non-suede sections. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent color transfer from the brown suede to the lighter materials.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the low-profile design slightly snug.

Can I use waterproof spray on these?

Yes, using a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray can help protect the material, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, which provides a soft, durable, and classic look.

Is the sole non-marking?

The gum rubber sole is designed to be floor-friendly, making them suitable for most indoor settings.

Troubleshooting

The suede is showing water spots

Allow the suede to air dry completely away from direct heat, then use a dry suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Laces are coming undone frequently

Ensure a double-knot is used or swap for slightly textured laces if you prefer a more secure hold.

Sole is losing traction due to debris

Use a toothpick or a stiff-bristled plastic brush to clear out pebbles or dirt from the textured tread pattern on the gum sole.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Setup: Always loosen the laces fully before sliding your foot in to avoid collapsing the heel counter.
  2. Suede Care: Because the upper is primarily made of suede, avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after use.
  3. Cleaning: If the shoe gets marked, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light suede-safe cleaning solution. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; choose your regular UK size. If you plan to wear them with thicker socks, you may consider if your preference leans towards a snug or loose fit.
