FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use, not for high-impact sports.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to try them on if possible, as sizing can vary. Check the size guide and consider your usual shoe size. Some users find they need to size up or down slightly.

What is the best way to clean the leather upper?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your type of leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. A leather protector spray can enhance water resistance. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the COLD CEMENT construction mentioned?

This refers to a method of attaching the sole to the upper without heat, contributing to the shoe's flexibility and durability.

How do I care for the gum rubber outsole?

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the difference between these and modern athletic shoes?

The Handball Spezial are built for style and casual comfort with vintage design elements, whereas modern athletic shoes are engineered for specific sports performance with advanced cushioning and support technologies.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather to break in and conform to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases are normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. A leather protector spray can help prevent future marks.

Gum sole becoming discolored

Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a new pair of standard shoelaces. Ensure they are the correct length for the shoe.
