FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up if available.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No. The combination of suede and specialized adhesives means that machine washing will likely damage the material and affect the integrity of the shoe.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.

Are these suitable for playing handball today?

While based on a handball shoe, modern performance trainers have advanced significantly. These are now positioned primarily as lifestyle fashion items.

How do I clean the gold-coloured stripes?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the stripes. Avoid abrasive brushes on the synthetic leather details.

What is the best way to store the trainers?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading and the rubber from degrading over time.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on the suede material

Lightly brush the affected area with a suede brush when dry to restore the nap of the leather.

Outsole losing its grip due to debris

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dirt or grit that may cause slipping.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep set creases in the suede.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage design that complements modern streetwear
  • High-quality suede material provides premium feel
  • Reliable gum rubber outsole offers excellent grip
  • Lightweight build prevents foot fatigue during long days

Cons

  • Suede requires specific cleaning tools and protection
  • Not suitable for high-intensity wet weather activities
  • Lighter weight construction may lack the heavy-duty support of technical athletic shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lacing system. For the best comfort, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension without overtightening, which could cause pressure points across the top of the foot.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, utilize a mild suede-safe cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
  • Protection: We recommend applying a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to preserve the material.
  • Drying: Never place these trainers in a tumble dryer. Always allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can harden the suede or warp the rubber sole.
