FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series generally runs true to standard UK sizing for a secure fit.
Can I wear these for sports?
While based on a handball shoe design, this specific variant is intended for casual lifestyle wear rather than court performance.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Is the leather water-resistant?
Leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, but applying a protective spray is recommended for protection against rain.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Stiffness when breaking in
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently soften the leather without causing blisters.
Surface scuffs on leather
Use a leather conditioner or a matching cream polish to buff out minor abrasions.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality leather materials ensure long-lasting durability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, apply a leather-safe water repellent spray before your first wear. For daily maintenance, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Because these shoes feature a classic low-profile fit, they are compatible with most low-cut or invisible socks, which help maintain the clean aesthetic of the loafer-inspired strap.
