FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
Can I use these for professional sports?
While based on a handball silhouette, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For high-intensity sports, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I remove mud from the yellow leather?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off. Follow up with a damp cloth if necessary, and avoid rubbing too hard to prevent color transfer.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the product is constructed with leather materials designed for durability and a premium aesthetic.
Does the gold foil branding fade?
Like any printed branding, it may fade with excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning chemicals. Avoid scrubbing the gold foil areas directly.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly damp cloth followed by a leather conditioner to buff out minor marks.
Slippage in the heel area
Re-lace the shoes using the top eyelet to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly against the padded collar.
Sole losing traction
Wipe the rubber outsole with a clean, damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that can impede grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-profile trainers, they pair best with slim or tapered denim and joggers. To maintain the leather upper, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Always ensure the laces are properly adjusted before use to avoid putting undue stress on the eyestay area.
