FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the leather construction may feel snug initially before molding to your foot.

Can I use these for sports?

While they are based on handball heritage, modern versions are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for competitive court sports.

Are the insoles removable?

The Handball Spezial generally features a glued insole; attempting to remove it may cause damage to the interior lining.

How do I clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution if necessary, and always air dry at room temperature.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

They are made of leather and are water-resistant to a degree, but heavy rain can damage the material over time.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull after heavy use

Apply a mild leather conditioner suitable for sneakers to restore moisture and shine.

Squeaking sound while walking

Ensure the insoles are seated correctly and check if the laces are tightened appropriately to stop internal friction.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the laces down to the toe box to allow for more volume before sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, keep them clean by wiping the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive. For the rubber sole, use a soft brush to clear out debris trapped in the tread. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or cracking. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape and material integrity.
