FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional sports?
While originally designed for handball, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for casual wear than high-intensity court sports.
How should I clean the blue upper?
Use a specialized cleaner appropriate for the specific material (leather or suede) and avoid harsh chemicals or soap.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
They generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the profile is slim. If you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in the dryer. Heat can cause the rubber soles to detach and the leather to shrink or crack.
Is the material waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for sneakers to add a layer of water resistance.
What is the primary material used?
The Handball Spezial range typically utilizes high-quality leather and suede uppers paired with a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Material showing signs of dust or surface dirt
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface particles from the leather or suede upper.
Creasing on the upper material
This is natural for leather-based trainers; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. Because these trainers often utilize premium materials like leather or suede, avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive. Instead, gently brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather or suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the slim fit typically follows standard sizing conventions.
