FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit, consider wearing thinner socks.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole. Always stick to hand-cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for playing actual handball?
While they are inspired by handball shoes, modern performance standards for the sport suggest using updated, technical footwear for professional play.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a standard foam midsole; those requiring significant orthotic support may want to swap the insole for a custom version.
Troubleshooting
The leather is showing signs of scuffing
Use a leather conditioner and a matching colour cream to buff out minor marks and maintain the finish.
Outsole has lost grip
Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that can cause slipping.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these feature a leather upper, avoid submerging them in water. Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can crack the material. Because these run in standard UK adult sizes, use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter from losing its shape.
