FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but since they have a slimmer profile, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the suede material and compromise the structural glue; always use manual cleaning methods.

Are these suitable for intense sports?

While they were originally designed for handball, modern athletic footwear provides better impact protection for high-intensity sports; these are best suited for lifestyle use.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and to keep the suede from drying out.

Do the laces need special treatment?

If the laces become dirty, remove them and soak them in warm soapy water, then air dry.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe rubber eraser to gently lift the dirt without damaging the nap of the material.

Material has become wet after rainfall

Stuff the shoes with clean white paper to absorb moisture from the inside and let them dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Outsole has lost grip due to dust accumulation

Wipe the gum rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately to restore tackiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are primarily constructed from suede, proper care is essential to keep them looking their best. Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray to create a barrier against dirt and water. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. If the suede becomes wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to warp or harden. Ensure you choose the correct UK sizing for your foot to maintain the integrity of the heel cup and avoid premature wear of the inner lining.
