FAQs

Can I use these trainers for heavy gym workouts?

While the Handball Spezial features responsive ADIPRENE cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual use and court-style activities rather than high-intensity heavy lifting or professional sports.

How do I protect the gold-foil branding?

Avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive sponges near the 'Spezial' lettering to prevent the gold foil from peeling or fading.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the low-profile design may feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?

The EVA midsole provides lightweight, long-lasting shock absorption, which helps reduce foot fatigue during extended periods of walking.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty maintaining the clean look of the snakeskin-effect panels

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dirt from the textured areas, then wipe with a lightly dampened microfiber cloth.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce the appearance of deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Effective shock absorption via ADIPRENE technology
  • Versatile low-profile design suitable for casual wear
  • High-quality aesthetic detailing with snakeskin-effect panels
  • Reliable grip from the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Leather material requires specific maintenance routines
  • Low-profile silhouette offers less ankle support than high-top alternatives
  • Textured panels may be harder to clean than smooth synthetic materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Handball Spezial trainers, proper maintenance is essential.

Setup and Fit: Ensure you are selecting your standard UK size, as the lace-up closure allows for subtle width adjustments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth after each use.
  2. For the snakeskin-effect panels, use a slightly damp cloth to remove debris, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the material.
  3. Keep the leather conditioned with appropriate leather cream to prevent cracking.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the gold foil branding and the integrity of the upper material.
