FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, yes, but because they are made of leather, they may feel snug at first. They will soften and stretch slightly with wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, degrade the glue, and deform the shape of the shoe. Always hand clean them.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The low-profile design is relatively slim. If you have very wide feet, you may find the standard width restrictive.
Does the leather require waterproofing?
While not strictly necessary, applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect them from light rain and spills.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
The factory insoles are typically removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred orthotics if extra arch support is needed.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are threaded through the top eyelets for a tighter lockdown.
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for high-quality leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Squeaking on indoor floors
Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or polish that may be causing the noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Break-in Period: Because of the leather construction, wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to flex comfortably.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dust. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the leather.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or becoming brittle.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
