FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size.
Can I use these for handball or other sports?
While originally designed as handball shoes, they are now intended primarily for lifestyle and fashion use. They lack the specialized technology required for modern competitive court sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for light cleaning. Avoid soaking the leather or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the material.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the leather.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The slim, low-profile design may feel snug on wider feet. If you are between sizes, consider going up half a size for more room.
Troubleshooting
Outer leather showing signs of scuffing
Use a specialized leather balm or shoe polish matching the red color to restore the finish and protect the material.
Laces constantly coming untied
Replace standard laces with textured athletic laces or employ a double-knot method for a more secure fit.
Sole grip feels slippery on wet surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove buildup of debris or dust that can reduce surface friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference to leverage the security of the padded collar.
- Leather Care: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. Use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner if the material appears dry or scuffed.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant red and blue colorways over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers are highly compatible with casual trousers, denim, and athletic-inspired sportswear.
