FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the glue holding the gum sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium suede, while the outsole is made from durable gum rubber.

Are these suitable for handball or gym use?

While they share the name and DNA of the 1979 athlete shoe, this specific version is re-issued for casual street wear rather than professional athletic performance.

How do I keep the beige accents clean?

Use a gentle suede cleaner and a soft brush specifically designed for light-coloured materials, and store them away from dark dyes that could transfer.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the instep

Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with a wider gap between the eyelets to allow for more volume.

Suede has water stains

Allow the shoes to dry completely at room temperature, then use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the fabric.

Insoles feel worn or flat

Since the OrthoLite sockliner is often removable, you can replace them with generic third-party inserts if additional arch support is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile vintage design suitable for casual outfits
  • High-comfort OrthoLite insoles for all-day use
  • Durable gum rubber outsole provides excellent grip
  • Lightweight construction for daily movement

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to rain and mud
  • Not intended for high-intensity sports despite athletic heritage
  • Light-coloured beige accents may show dirt easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is easy with the secure lace closure—simply adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred tightness across the midfoot. For compatibility, the brown and beige colourway pairs effortlessly with denim, chinos, or casual trousers. To ensure longevity, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede regularly. Avoid washing these shoes in a machine or submerging them in water. If you encounter a stain, use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of suede cleaner, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
