FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed for casual wear and indoor sports; it lacks the cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can damage the materials and construction.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Handball Spezial is a unisex trainer, designed to be versatile for any gender.
How do I maintain the gum sole?
The gum sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its grip and appearance.
Does the suede material need special care?
Yes, use a suede brush to keep the nap looking fresh and a protective spray to guard against water and dirt.
Are these true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to try on both sizes to ensure the most comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Consider inserting aftermarket arch-support insoles, as the stock footbed is designed for a low-profile fit.
Staining on the upper material
Treat with a fabric-appropriate stain remover immediately; avoid harsh chemicals that might cause discolouration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. As these trainers often feature suede or soft synthetic uppers, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for sneakers before the first use to protect against stains and moisture. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue bonds and damage the materials; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For sizing, the model typically fits true to size, but users with wider feet may find the low-profile fit slightly snug.
