FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thicker socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
Can I use these for actual handball?
While the name reflects their sporting heritage, modern athletic footwear is recommended for competitive handball. These are primarily for lifestyle use.
How do I clean the white sections?
Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth for the white details. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the leather.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial has a slim profile. Those with wider feet may find the fit quite snug and might consider trying a half size up.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the material quality.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used, or replace with slightly shorter laces if the current ones are too long.
Soles losing traction due to debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove pebbles or mud from the tread pattern of the gum rubber sole.
Creasing on the T-toe panel
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure of the toe box and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup. To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks; always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the materials over time.
- Moisture Control: If the interior becomes damp, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
