FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a heritage lifestyle shoe and does not provide the cushioning or support required for running.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most high-quality leather footwear, these will naturally mold to your foot shape slightly as they are broken in.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the leather and metallic details.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing; if you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure a proper fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
The factory insoles are generally designed to be standard; you can replace them with custom orthotics if they are thin enough to fit within the low-profile interior.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather and reduce deep set-in creases.
Difficulty cleaning the gum outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub away debris from the textured rubber surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. For the leather variants, wipe them down with a clean, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. Because of the gum outsole, avoid contact with heavy oils or chemicals that could degrade the rubber compound. These trainers pair well with slim-fit jeans, track pants, or casual chinos. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the fit is traditional and may differ from modern performance footwear.
