FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for playing actual handball?
While based on handball history, modern handball requires high-performance court shoes; these are intended for casual lifestyle use.
How do I protect the suede?
You can use a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray, applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Does the colour fade?
Like all dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Store in a cool, dark place.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality suede, providing a premium vintage look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners unless specifically designed for suede.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Soles losing traction
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted debris that can cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper often features suede, avoid getting them soaking wet. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt regularly. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material. When styling, these shoes are compatible with everything from slim-fit denim to shorts, owing to their streamlined shape. Always check your sizing, as the UK 7 fit is standard for this model, but suede can stretch slightly over time.
