FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard UK size.

Can I use these for actual handball?

While based on a handball silhouette, modern versions are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive indoor sports.

How do I clean the white suede?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Is the sole non-marking?

The sole is designed for durability and comfort in everyday environments, but it is best to check specific facility requirements if you intend to wear them in a gym.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

They provide standard levels of comfort and cushioning suitable for casual wear, but they are not specialized orthopedic shoes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink and damage the structural components of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft crepe brush to gently lift and remove surface scuffs.

Water spots on the material

Lightly dampen the entire surface of the shoe evenly with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally to prevent uneven water rings.

Laces becoming loose during wear

Ensure a double knot is used or replace the laces with a slightly textured pair that provides better grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile design that pairs well with various outfits
  • High-quality suede material offers a premium aesthetic
  • Cushioned interior provides reliable all-day comfort
  • Reinforced heel panel improves long-term durability

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to water and mud
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the light colour clean
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic court performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear with a standard lace-up closure that allows you to customize the fit to your foot shape. To keep your suede trainers looking their best, follow these care steps:

  1. Use a soft-bristled brush regularly to remove dry dirt and dust from the suede fibres.
  2. Apply a suede-specific protective spray before first use to create a barrier against stains and minor moisture.
  3. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and glue bonds.
  4. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent warping or stiffening of the material.
