FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most wearers.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machine cycles can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the trainers; hand-cleaning is recommended.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from premium suede.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While they originated as handball shoes, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle fashion trainers and may lack the advanced support found in modern specialized athletic equipment.

How do I clean the suede if it gets wet?

Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Once completely dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?

The OrthoLite sock liner provides breathable, long-term cushioning and helps manage moisture inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty maintaining suede texture

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove fine dust.

Slight discomfort during break-in

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot; the suede will soften and mold to your foot over time.

Minor scuffs on the gum sole

Gently wipe the rubber sidewall with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the original finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic vintage aesthetic
  • High level of comfort with OrthoLite technology
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use
  • Versatile style that pairs well with casual outfits

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Requires regular upkeep to maintain appearance
  • Not specifically designed for high-performance court sports today

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come with standard lace-up styling, requiring only a simple adjustment to achieve your preferred tension. Because they are constructed from suede, avoiding heavy rain or muddy conditions is highly recommended to prevent water spots and permanent staining.

To keep your trainers looking new, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. If deeper cleaning is required, use a specialized suede cleaning spray or eraser. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the colour pigments to fade over time. Always ensure the shoes are fully dry before storage.
