FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in handball design, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For professional handball, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

What is the best way to clean the black leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can the gum sole be slippery on wet surfaces?

The textured gum sole provides good traction, but like most rubber-soled shoes, they can be less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces.

What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?

It translates to 'Handball Special' and indicates that this shoe model was originally designed for the sport of handball, emphasizing grip and stability.

What material is the shoe made of?

The primary upper material is leather, with a gum rubber sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly without overtightening.

Gum sole appears dirty or scuffed

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the sole. For scuff marks, try a specialized sole cleaner or a magic eraser, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shows minor creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. It can be minimized by ensuring proper fit and using shoe trees for storage.

Laces are showing wear

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material.
