FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but the low-profile design may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I use these for actual sports?
While they were originally handball shoes, modern technology has far surpassed them for performance sports; they are best used as lifestyle sneakers.
How do I remove scuffs from the white leather?
A gentle eraser or a dedicated leather cleaning solution typically removes surface scuffs without damaging the material.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, you can remove the insoles to swap them for custom orthotics if needed for extra support.
What is the best way to clean the suede or rubber parts?
Stick to a damp cloth for the rubber sole and a soft dry brush for any suede accents to preserve the texture.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper looking dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.
Squeaking sound when walking
This is often caused by moisture or dry insoles; remove the insoles and dust with a small amount of talcum powder.
Persistent dirt in the textured sole
Use a toothbrush or a specialized shoe cleaning brush to dislodge debris from the rubber tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: As these are primarily leather, wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the leather grain.
- Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the serrated 3-stripes and the textured sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the green and gold accents.
- Laces: Regularly check and replace laces if they show signs of fraying to maintain the clean, original look.
