FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed for lifestyle and daily wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the leather and the integrity of the rubber sole adhesive.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a leather cleaner for deeper stains and avoid harsh chemicals.
Does the shoe size run true to fit?
Generally, they follow standard UK sizing, but leather can feel slightly snug initially and will stretch slightly to contour to your foot.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
They are water-resistant to an extent due to the leather, but they are not waterproof and should be dried naturally if they become soaked.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a leather-specific conditioner or cream to restore shine and keep the material supple.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction textured laces if necessary.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. For the initial fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size, noting that leather may soften slightly over time. To clean, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth; avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. For stubborn marks on the rubber sole, use a gentle brush with mild soap. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
