FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear. They offer comfort and style but may not provide the specialized support and traction required for competitive handball.
How do I clean the brown leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the color of the gum sole?
The gum sole is typically a classic, opaque rubber color, complementing the brown and orange tint of the trainers.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The trainers can handle light moisture, but the gum sole may offer reduced grip on very wet or slippery surfaces. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing for adults. The specific pair mentioned is a UK 6.5.
What material is the shoe made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with the distinctive orange tint accents and a rubber gum sole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted appropriately, not too tight.
Gum sole appears dirty or marked
Gently clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. A rubber eraser can be effective for removing scuff marks.
Leather shows minor scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a cream polish in a matching color to cover minor scuffs and restore the appearance. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
