FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while they were originally sports shoes, they are now considered lifestyle trainers and do not contain the modern shock absorption required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that might yellow the material.
What does the regular fit mean?
Regular fit refers to a standard width that fits most foot shapes comfortably without being too narrow or too wide.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sock liners can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are they water-resistant?
The leather upper provides some protection, but the shoes are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray if worn in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce natural creasing.
Slight discomfort during break-in
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors first to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Dirt accumulation on the gum sole
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with an old toothbrush to scrub the soles gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For the leather upper, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove the OrthoLite sock liner to air it out, which helps maintain freshness and hygiene.
- Compatibility: These trainers generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider the standard 'regular' fit and ensure your typical UK sizing is maintained.
