FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial has a standard fit; however, the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment to accommodate slightly wider feet.

Can these be worn for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are primarily casual streetwear now. They are excellent for daily play but not intended as dedicated athletic performance shoes for competitive sports.

How do I determine the right size?

These follow standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to measure the child's foot with a small gap for growth.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these are not waterproof shoes.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally fixed. It is best not to remove them to avoid damaging the interior construction.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for a slightly textured pair that provides better friction.

Visible scuff marks on white leather

Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Timeless vintage aesthetic that pairs well with casual outfits
  • High-traction outsole suitable for multiple indoor and outdoor surfaces
  • Adjustable fit through traditional lacing

Cons

  • White colorway is prone to showing dirt and scuffs
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials
  • Lace-up closure may be slower for younger children than velcro options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces before the first use so the shoe sits snugly against the top of the foot without restricting circulation. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing these trainers. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To keep the white leather looking fresh, consider using a dedicated leather cleaner or a soft brush to remove dust from the crevices near the seams.
