FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball in the past, modern indoor sports have evolved. These are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption required for competitive court play.
How do I clean the brown upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. If you encounter spots, use a specialized leather or suede cleaner compatible with the specific material finish of your shoe.
Does the Handball Spezial run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider sizing up by a half-size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the material composition. Hand cleaning is recommended to preserve the shoe.
What is the primary material of the sole?
The Handball Spezial features a signature natural rubber gum sole known for its grip and retro look.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' style to reduce pressure across the top of the foot.
Accumulated dirt on the gum sole.
Use a damp cloth with mild soapy water and a soft brush to scrub the crevices of the sole pattern, then wipe dry immediately.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, no complex setup is required. For sizing, these follow standard UK adult sizing, so it is recommended to select your usual sneaker size for the best fit. Regarding care, the upper should be cleaned periodically using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If the material is suede, avoid water submersion; instead, use a dedicated suede cleaner or dry-brushing technique. To maintain the structural integrity, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees if you intend to store them for long periods.
