FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers and do not contain the specialized cushioning or stability technology required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather-safe soap.
Are they true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the low-profile design provides a snug fit. If you prefer extra room, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles can generally be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics for better arch support.
What is the material composition?
These specific trainers feature a premium leather upper with a vulcanized rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and reduce deep creasing.
Sole grip feels slippery
Clear debris or small stones stuck in the textured tread pattern using a soft brush.
Laces loosening during walk
Ensure a double knot is used if the laces are sliding, or replace with cotton-based flat laces for higher friction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their quality, consider the following:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable, the leather may need a few wears to perfectly contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Moisture: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from warping.
