FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The Handball Spezial Bold trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good cushioning and traction for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
How do I break in the leather upper?
Wear the trainers for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the leather softens and molds to your foot shape. Wearing them with the socks you intend to use most often can help expedite this process.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the trainers. The leather upper and chunky sole components may be damaged by the washing machine. Spot clean using the care instructions provided.
What is the main difference between the Handball Spezial and the Handball Spezial Bold?
The primary difference is the sole. The 'Bold' version features a significantly thicker, 'chunky' midsole for increased cushioning and a more contemporary, visually impactful aesthetic compared to the original, slimmer Handball Spezial.
How do I clean the white gum rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush can be used gently. Ensure to wipe away any residue with a clean damp cloth.
What kind of socks are best with these trainers?
For comfort and fit, mid-weight socks are generally recommended. Consider the thickness based on your personal preference and how the shoe fits. For a snugger feel, thinner socks might be preferred; for a looser fit, slightly thicker socks could work.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if an alternative size would be more suitable.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Laces are difficult to clean
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. For machine washing, place them in a mesh laundry bag.
