FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can cause the glue to loosen and ruin the texture of the suede.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to size, though the cut is somewhat slim.

Are these suitable for indoor sports?

While originally designed for handball, modern athletic shoes offer better performance for sports; these are best utilized as lifestyle sneakers.

How do I remove mud from the gum sole?

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the gum rubber outsole clean.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Visible water or dirt stains on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or brush. Do not machine wash, as this will damage the leather and suede materials.

Creasing in the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Spezial trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Protective Spray: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent before wearing them outside for the first time.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust from the suede upper after each use. For tougher stains, utilize a dedicated suede cleaning block.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size, but consider using a thinner sock if you prefer a more snug fit around the midfoot.
