FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they were originally designed for handball, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual, everyday activity.

How do I clean the white leather?

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging them in water.

Is the material genuine leather?

Yes, the product features a high-quality leather upper for durability and comfort.

Do they provide good arch support?

As a classic low-profile trainer, they offer standard support. If you require specialized orthotics, the interior allows for most standard aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dirty

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace with standard flat athletic laces to maintain the original look.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines: 1. Keep them clean by wiping the leather upper with a damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup. 2. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner recommended for white sneakers. 3. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the leather. 4. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing. These shoes are unisex in style and pair easily with a variety of wardrobe staples, fitting true to size for standard adult feet.
