FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the silhouette is quite slim. If you have a wider foot, you may find them snug.

Can I use these for playing handball?

While they were originally designed for handball, modern court sports require specialized performance footwear; these are now better suited for lifestyle use.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

What material is the lining?

The trainers feature a breathable textile lining designed to keep your feet comfortable.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is textured for grip, making it generally suitable for most indoor surfaces.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon initial wear

Wear the trainers for short durations indoors to gradually soften the leather before extended outdoor use.

Surface dirt accumulation on the rubber sole

Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to scrub the textured outsole, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted to your preferred tension and consider a double-knot if you are walking long distances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Excellent traction from the textured rubber sole
  • Timeless retro design suitable for casual wear
  • Breathable textile lining
  • Lightweight feel despite robust build

Cons

  • Slim fit may not suit all foot shapes
  • Requires some break-in time to soften the leather
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or cross-training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To maintain their appearance, ensure you use a high-quality leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth for regular wiping to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather upper and the adhesives. For long-term storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the Collegiate Green accents. If you intend to wear them for long periods, consider using a standard shoe tree to help the leather maintain its shape.
