FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series generally runs true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I use these for sports?

While originally designed for handball, these are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual daily wear.

How do I protect the leather?

Applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray formulated for leather can help protect them from the elements.

Is the sole non-marking?

The durable rubber outsole is designed for indoor and outdoor grip, typically behaving as a non-marking compound.

What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?

The leather version offers a smoother, easier-to-clean finish compared to the suede version, which has a textured, matte appearance.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally glued in place to ensure a consistent fit; attempting to remove them may damage the internal structure.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Loosen the laces across the midfoot area and wear with thinner socks until the leather softens.

Creasing appearing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree after every wear to help the leather recover its shape and minimize permanent creases.

Metallic details looking dull

Gently wipe the metallic accents with a soft, slightly damp cloth to restore the shine, then buff dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather construction for durability
  • Iconic, timeless design fits diverse outfits
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber outsole
  • Sophisticated color palette with metallic highlights

Cons

  • Low-profile silhouette may lack deep arch support
  • Leather requires specific care to prevent creasing
  • May feel stiff during the first few wears

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come pre-laced, setup is limited to adjusting the tension for your specific foot width. To ensure longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue color. If the leather becomes soiled, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-safe cleaner applied sparingly with a cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive components. It is recommended to use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shape of the T-toe overlay.
