FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle shoe with a flat, low-profile sole that lacks the cushioning and shock absorption needed for running.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to reference the size guide if you are between sizes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Clean them by hand only.

Is the leather upper real or synthetic?

The Handball Spezial series features high-quality leather construction for durability and comfort.

What is the primary surface intended for these shoes?

They are designed for urban environments and indoor surfaces, providing excellent grip on flat, hard ground.

Do these shoes come with extra laces?

The shoes typically arrive with the standard laces included in the box; check the packaging carefully upon purchase.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty maintaining grip

Clean the outsole with a damp brush to remove accumulated debris or dust that may be clogging the texture.

Fit feels too snug

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before stepping in; leather will soften slightly with wear but will not stretch significantly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction
  • Versatile, timeless low-profile design
  • Excellent grip provided by the textured rubber outsole
  • Comfortable padded collar for daily use
  • Secure lace-up fit

Cons

  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated performance shoes
  • Flat sole design may require inserts for some users
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain leather condition

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

Setup: Upon unboxing, ensure the laces are threaded to your preferred tightness. If you require specialized orthotics, the factory insole is generally removable to accommodate aftermarket arch supports.

Compatibility: These trainers are a unisex style designed for adult feet. They feature a standard width, but consider your specific size for the best fit given the leather upper's minimal stretch.

Care: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
