FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or typically wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. The machine washing cycle can damage the glue, suede, and overall structure of the trainer. Always clean them by hand.
What material are these made of?
This model features a high-quality suede upper, which provides the classic matte finish and soft texture characteristic of the Spezial line.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, modern athletic footwear technology has advanced significantly. These are now best utilized as lifestyle sneakers.
How do I remove mud from the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely first, then gently brush it off with a dry suede brush. Avoid wiping wet mud as it will push the dirt deeper into the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or salt stains on the suede
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush and a gentle suede cleaner to lift the stain, then re-apply a protective spray once dry.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural result of wear on leather and suede products. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.
Dirt stuck in the sole tread
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently clear debris from the rubber tread to ensure continued traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their look, keep these care tips in mind:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after every few uses.
- Stain Removal: For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a small amount of specialized cleaning solution applied sparingly.
- Drying: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the material to shrink or stiffen.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
