FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by court shoes and do not have the cushioning or support necessary for running.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Are these shoes gender-neutral?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.
How often should I treat the leather?
Applying a high-quality leather conditioner every few months helps keep the material hydrated and prevents cracking.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the original shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure "surgeon's knot" to provide additional friction for the flat laces.
Outsole losing traction
Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the tread; clean the sole with a soft brush and warm, soapy water to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, lace your shoes snugly to prevent heel slippage during initial wear, as the leather will gradually soften and mold to your foot shape. Regarding compatibility, these shoes pair best with denim, chinos, or casual joggers. For care, keep the leather supple by wiping away dirt with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and damage the adhesive bonds in the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
