FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing actual handball?

While originally designed for the sport, modern handball requires advanced technical support; the Handball Spezial is best utilized today as a lifestyle fashion sneaker.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the leather material may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the foot.

How do I clean the gum sole?

You can clean the gum sole using a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush with mild soap to scrub away dirt.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole in place.

Are these trainers unisex?

While often categorized by gender, the silhouette is a classic design that fits both men and women effectively.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing.

Gum sole losing traction

Clean the bottom of the soles with a soft brush and warm, soapy water to remove debris and dust buildup.
