FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, consider the activity level to choose the best fit.

Can these be worn for sports?

While they originated as handball shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle sneakers. They are great for casual play but not recommended for professional competitive sports.

How do I clean the white parts of the shoe?

A soft-bristled brush and mild soap work best for the rubber components, while a damp cloth is sufficient for the leather.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to protect the integrity of the material.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

They feature a flat-sole design characteristic of the era. If your child requires specific orthopedic arch support, you may want to insert custom insoles.

Troubleshooting

Soles becoming slippery

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust buildup that can reduce grip.

Creasing on the toe box

Leather creasing is a natural characteristic of the material; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Excellent traction with the gum rubber sole
  • Timeless, iconic retro design

Cons

  • Flat sole lacks high-arch support
  • Leather requires specific cleaning techniques
  • Limited to casual wear rather than intense sports performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Handball Spezial trainers in top condition, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for stubborn dirt.
  2. Maintenance: Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the leather and the adhesive on the gum sole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  4. Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened properly to support the foot during play, but avoid overtightening to maintain the shoe's structural shape.
