FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by 1979 handball shoes and do not feature the modern cushioning or support required for running.

How do I protect the suede?

It is recommended to use a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.

Are these true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the suede material and loosen the adhesives used in the construction of the trainer.

What is the primary material used?

This specific edition features high-quality suede overlays designed for durability and a premium look.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap in a circular motion.

Visible dirt on the gum outsole

Wipe the rubber with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Shoe feels slightly tight initially

Suede is a natural material that will relax and stretch slightly with consistent wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Because these are crafted from suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can permanently damage the texture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. They pair exceptionally well with tapered denim, joggers, or casual trousers, making them a highly compatible addition to any wardrobe.
