FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball?
The Handball Spezial Trainers are inspired by handball shoes and offer good grip, but they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional handball, specialized footwear with advanced support and cushioning is recommended.
How should I clean the oiled leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and apply sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The fit is generally considered regular. However, individual foot shapes can vary. It is recommended to check sizing charts and, if possible, try them on before purchasing to ensure the best fit.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, which is known for its excellent grip and durability, providing reliable traction on various surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand some moisture, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a leather protector spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to maintain the leather's quality.
What is the recommended break-in period?
Like many leather shoes, the Handball Spezial may benefit from a short break-in period. Wearing them for a few hours at a time initially can help them conform to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Ensure proper storage to minimize creasing.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Interior feels damp after wear
Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Consider using cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture.
Laces are difficult to tighten evenly
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. Try lacing them from the bottom up, pulling evenly at each stage.
