FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial follows standard sizing guidelines for a regular fit. If you prefer a looser feel, some users opt for a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the adhesives holding the sole. Always clean by hand.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the suede is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a barrier against minor moisture.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing a soft touch and distinct vintage look.

Are these suitable for playing actual handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern specialized court shoes offer more advanced support for high-intensity athletics. These are best used for lifestyle and casual wear.

How do I maintain the gum sole?

You can wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep it clean and maintain its grip.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or dust on the suede

Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the nap.

Creasing near the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with suede trainers; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • High-quality suede construction
  • Comfortable OrthoLite cushioning
  • Versatile for various casual outfits

  • Suede requires dedicated cleaning tools
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard regular fit and a secure lace-up closure. To ensure longevity, avoid wearing the suede exterior in wet or muddy conditions, as water can stain and damage the texture. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove debris. For deeper cleaning, utilize a professional suede cleaner or an eraser kit. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the material to stiffen or warp.
