FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial trainers generally run true to standard UK sizes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the adhesive on the outsole.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber provides excellent traction and is a signature design element of classic indoor court shoes.

How do I maintain the grey colour?

Keep the suede clean and dry, and avoid harsh chemicals that might cause discolouration.

Are these suitable for running?

No, these are fashion trainers and do not contain the technical support or cushioning required for running.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently agitate the nap and restore the texture.

Minor surface stains

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the affected area, then brush to blend the material.

Laces becoming loose

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and tied with a double knot if extra security is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design suitable for various casual outfits
  • High-quality suede material provides a premium feel
  • OrthoLite liner offers excellent underfoot cushioning
  • Durable gum rubber outsole offers reliable grip

Cons

  • Suede requires careful maintenance to avoid water staining
  • Not intended for modern high-performance sports
  • Light-coloured suede may show dirt more easily than leather models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a suede-specific cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  • Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede to protect against minor spills and atmospheric moisture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the grey suede upper.
  • Fit: The shoes follow standard UK sizing; if you typically wear a 6.5, these are designed to provide a secure, true-to-size fit.
