FAQs
Are the Handball Spezials true to size?
Most users find them to fit true to size, but because they are leather, they may feel slightly snug at first before molding to your foot.
Can I use these for playing handball or other sports?
While originally designed for handball, modern court sports have specific high-tech requirements. These are best suited for lifestyle and casual use.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is widely considered a unisex style, suitable for any gender with appropriate sizing.
How do I clean the white 3-stripes?
Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth with mild soapy water to gently wipe the stripes. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to protect the material finish.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if the factory insoles wear out or you require specific arch support, they can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Gum sole accumulating debris
The grooves in the gum sole can pick up small stones; gently pry them out with a blunt tool or a stiff brush.
Leather losing its luster
Use a leather conditioner or cream matching the brown tone to rehydrate the material and restore its original finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Handball Spezials in peak condition, consider these steps:
- Breaking In: New leather may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather and the gum sole. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth rather than soaking the shoe.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against accidental spills or light rain, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
