FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?

While originally designed for handball, this model is now intended for lifestyle and fashion use and does not provide the advanced support required for high-intensity athletics.

How do I ensure the right fit?

These trainers follow standard sizing guidelines. It is recommended to choose your usual size as they offer a standard, regular fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing will permanently damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive in the sole.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which gives the shoe its iconic textured look.

Is the outsole slip-resistant?

The gum rubber outsole offers excellent traction on most dry, indoor, and outdoor surfaces, similar to classic court trainers.

Does the OrthoLite sockliner provide arch support?

The OrthoLite sockliner provides comfortable, cushioned support, though it is not a corrective orthotic insert.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and restore the soft texture of the material.

Visible scuffs or dirt marks

Use a dry suede eraser to gently buff away surface marks; avoid using soap and water as this can damage the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Handball Spezial Trainers feature a standard lace-up closure for a secure, adjustable fit. They are designed to fit true to size, offering a regular fit that accommodates most foot shapes comfortably.

Care Instructions:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede.
  2. Stain Treatment: Apply a specialized suede cleaner or protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains. Do not use standard liquid shoe polish.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown suede over time.
  4. Moisture Protection: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
