Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Gently buff the area with a leather conditioning cream or a matching neutral polish.

Replace standard laces with high-friction flat laces or ensure a double-knot is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Stain Treatment: Use a leather-safe cleaner for deeper stains; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Weather Protection: Consider applying a leather-specific waterproofing spray if you plan to wear them frequently in damp conditions.
