FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial trainers follow standard sizing, featuring a regular fit that works well for most foot shapes.

Can I use these for sports?

While originally designed for handball, modern iterations are intended primarily for lifestyle use and casual wear.

How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?

You can clean the outsole with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, being careful to keep the moisture away from the suede upper.

Are these trainers unisex?

While sizes are categorized, the design is highly versatile and widely worn as a unisex fashion piece.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite sock liner?

OrthoLite liners are breathable, lightweight, and provide cushioned comfort that helps manage moisture inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat, then use a suede brush to gently buff the nap back to life.

Laces becoming loose during wear

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

Inner liner retains moisture

Remove the insole after heavy use to let it air dry completely, or use a cedar shoe tree to absorb residual moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile aesthetic suitable for various outfits
  • High-quality suede material feels premium
  • OrthoLite liner enhances daily walking comfort
  • Excellent traction provided by the gum rubber outsole
  • Secure and stable regular fit

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to water and dirt damage
  • Minimal arch support compared to modern athletic performance shoes
  • Requires protective treatment before initial wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. Since the exterior is suede, avoid contact with heavy rain or mud. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or surface dust. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser works effectively. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this will damage the suede texture and compromise the adhesive bonds of the gum sole.
