FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense sporting activities?
While they were originally handball shoes, modern athletic standards have advanced; these are best intended for lifestyle and casual use today.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Handball Spezial tends to have a slim, court-inspired fit. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the rubber outsole construction.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather for durability and a premium feel.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather is not waterproof by default, so it is recommended to apply a protective spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?
The OrthoLite liner is designed for breathability, moisture management, and long-term cushioning comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dry or scuffed
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or shoe cream to restore moisture and buff out surface scuffs.
Unpleasant odor after frequent wear
Remove the OrthoLite sock liner and air it out separately; consider using a shoe deodorizing spray.
Gum sole losing traction
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that can cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Protection: Use a leather-specific waterproofing spray to add a protective barrier against moisture and salt during wet conditions.
- Laces: Keep the lace fastening secure; replacing laces periodically can refresh the look of the shoe.
