FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear. They lack the technical cushioning and arch support required for long-distance running.

How do I clean the white parts of the shoe?

The serrated 3-stripes are generally smooth and can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid contact with the suede during this process.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing, but the suede upper will slightly contour to your foot over time.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing will damage the suede and potentially compromise the gum rubber adhesive. Always clean by hand.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber was originally selected for handball players to provide superior grip on indoor gymnasium floors, and it offers great durability for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush or a soft nylon brush to gently buff the nap of the suede back to its original texture.

Stubborn surface stains

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently lift stains; avoid using liquid cleaners or water, which can leave rings on the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage design suitable for casual wear
  • Excellent grip provided by the gum rubber sole
  • Comfortable fit for all-day use
  • Durable reinforced heel construction

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Lace-up closure requires manual adjustment
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance despite heritage roots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a suede exterior, they are not designed for harsh weather or muddy terrain. To maintain the material, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the rubber and dry out the suede. Ensure the laces are securely tied to maintain the intended fit and arch support provided by the reinforced heel. For long-term storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help the suede upper retain its original shape.
