FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial features a slim, classic silhouette. Those with wider feet may find the fit quite snug and might consider going up a half size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the structure of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods only.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from high-quality, supple nubuck suede.

Do these come with extra laces?

The trainers come with standard laces matched to the shoe design; check the packaging to see if secondary laces are included based on your specific retail box.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the classic gum rubber outsole is designed to be non-marking, making them suitable for indoor surfaces.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers use UK sizing; please consult a conversion chart if you are ordering from a region that uses US or EU size standards.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on the suede

Allow the shoes to air-dry completely, then use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material.

Accumulated dirt on the gum outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the rubber, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to create a more secure lockdown for your midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Handball Spezial trainers involves a simple break-in period where the suede softens to your foot shape. For sizing, ensure you use the UK sizing standard, as these are tailored for a precise, snug fit. To maintain the appearance, use a suede-specific brush to remove surface debris after each wear. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from warping or drying out. We recommend applying a suede protector spray before the first use to shield against water and mild stains.
