FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Handball Spezial fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may vary.
Can I use these for actual handball?
While they are inspired by the sport, they are currently categorized as lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption required for competitive court play.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not considered waterproof, though they handle light moisture better than mesh trainers.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior features high-quality leather, complemented by a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with a slightly longer or textured set for better friction.
Creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the leather may offer minimal stretch over time. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the shoes become soiled, use a leather-safe cleaning solution and avoid submerging them in water. To maintain the shape of the footwear, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
