FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While the "Handball Spezial" model is inspired by the sport, these collaborative versions are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support and grip required for competitive handball.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Reviews often mention if the shoe runs true to size, large, or small.

What is the main difference between this and the original Handball Spezial?

The "Sporty & Rich" collaboration adds a modern streetwear aesthetic and potentially unique colorways and material combinations to the classic Handball Spezial silhouette.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These sneakers are not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or deep puddles is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect comfort.

What other colors are available in the Handball Spezial series?

The Handball Spezial series is available in a variety of colorways, often including green, blue, and other classic or collaborative editions. Specific availability may vary.

What material are these shoes made from?

The exact materials can vary slightly with collaborations, but the Handball Spezial typically features a combination of suede, leather, and synthetic materials, with a rubber sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have purchased the correct size. If they are slightly snug, wearing them with thin socks for short periods may help them stretch slightly. For significant tightness, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.

Discoloration on the material

For minor scuffs, try cleaning with a damp cloth. For suede or nubuck, use a suede eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration is due to water damage, allow to dry naturally and use a suede protector.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber soles are designed for grip, but effectiveness can vary on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket grip enhancers.
