FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find them true to size, but the slim profile can feel tighter than modern athletic shoes. If you have wider feet, consider sizing up by a half size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the leather or suede materials. Always clean by hand.

Are the Handball Spezial trainers waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof. Applying a protective spray can offer light resistance against moisture, but they should be kept out of heavy rain.

Are there different materials available?

Yes, this series is available in both premium leather and soft suede versions depending on the specific model release.

Can I use these for sports?

While they were originally designed for indoor handball, they are now intended primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense sports activity.

Troubleshooting

The shoes feel too narrow.

Wear them with thin cotton socks during the initial break-in period to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Scuffs on the white surface.

For leather models, use a white leather cleaner or a magic eraser dampened with water to gently buff out marks.

Suede looks dull after use.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the nap of the suede, which lifts the fibers and restores the original texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design that matches a wide range of outfits
  • Durable build quality using leather or suede materials
  • Classic, iconic styling that never goes out of fashion
  • Lightweight feel ideal for all-day wear

Cons

  • Low-profile sole offers less arch support than modern performance runners
  • Suede variants require specific care to prevent staining
  • Initial fit may feel snug for those with wider feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: If you are between sizes, consider trying both half-sizes, as the narrow cut may feel different depending on whether you choose the leather or suede material version.
  2. Cleaning (Leather): Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the white surfaces, keeping the leather hydrated to prevent cracking.
  3. Cleaning (Suede): Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for minor marks. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white base material.
  5. Maintenance: Use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather or suede to protect against unexpected spills or rain.
