FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
No, they are known to be small-fitting. It is advised to purchase a size larger than your usual size.
Can I use these for outdoor sports?
While the shoes are durable, they are specifically optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them on rough asphalt may accelerate wear on the outsole.
Are the soles non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is specifically designed to be non-marking, making them safe for indoor gymnasium floors.
What is the Torsion system?
The Torsion system is a piece of technology in the midfoot that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing increased stability.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. You may also use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material soft and prevent cracking.
Is the material leather or suede?
The product is available in both leather and suede variations depending on the specific model and release.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the toes
This model is a small fit. If you haven't worn them outside, exchange them for at least a half-size larger than your standard size.
Slippage on indoor surfaces
Check the rubber soles for a build-up of dust or debris. Wiping the soles with a slightly damp cloth can restore the traction of the non-marking rubber.
Discomfort during long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot, which could interfere with the Torsion system's stability function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their performance and appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are small-fitting. It is highly recommended to try them on carefully before removing labels to verify they fit comfortably.
- Lacing: Take advantage of the adjustable lacing system to secure the shoe specifically to your foot width, ensuring the Torsion system works effectively.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the leather grain.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or the sole adhesive from degrading.
