FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial trainers suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers modeled after vintage court shoes. They lack the technical cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
You can clean the gum sole using warm soapy water and a soft sponge or an old toothbrush.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, though the profile is quite slim, which may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as the mechanical action and heat can damage the glue, leather, or suede materials.
What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?
The leather version is generally easier to wipe clean, while the suede version offers a softer, more textured look that requires more delicate maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a pencil eraser to gently lift stains and restore the nap.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are typically finished with suede or high-quality leather, they require specific care to remain in top condition. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from suede surfaces, and consider a water-repellent spray to protect against light moisture. For leather versions, wipe down with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. These shoes fit true to standard adidas sizing; ensure you verify your UK sizing conversion before purchase, as the fit is snug and supportive.
