FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though some users with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives in the sole. Always clean by hand.

What is the primary material used?

This specific variant is constructed using high-quality leather for the upper and a durable rubber compound for the outsole.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed as court shoes, modern handball requires specific technical support that these lifestyle-focused trainers do not provide.

Does the shoe have good arch support?

The support is minimal, consistent with the heritage design of the shoe. If you require significant arch support, consider using a third-party insole.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or scuffed

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural finish.

Sole has become slippery

Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may accumulate on the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from excessive mud and water. Since the exterior is leather, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after each use. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth is recommended. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discolouring. When lacing, ensure you do not pull the eyelets too tight to maintain the structural integrity of the upper.
