FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede upper and compromise the shoe structure. Always clean by hand using proper tools.

Can these be worn in rainy weather?

Suede is sensitive to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these during heavy rain or in muddy conditions to prevent staining.

Are they true to size?

The Handball Spezial features a regular fit. Most users find that they fit true to their standard UK sizing for kids.

What is the best way to remove dry mud?

Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry brush to gently flick the dried particles off the suede.

Are these suitable for indoor sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are now primarily considered lifestyle trainers. They provide good grip but may lack the specialized support of modern performance court shoes.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or flat

Use a soft suede brush to gently buff the nap in one direction to restore the texture.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and double-knot the bow for extra security.

Scuffs on the rubber sole

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away scuff marks from the rubber edge.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the suede may soften further with a few days of consistent wear.
  2. Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first use to protect the material from the elements.
  3. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner; avoid saturating the material with water.
  4. Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant suede color over time.
