FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial features a slim, heritage profile. While the leather will soften over time, those with wider feet may find a half-size increase helpful.

How do I clean the white laces?

Remove the laces and soak them in a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and air dry.

Can I use these for actual handball sports?

While based on a handball shoe, current models are intended for lifestyle and fashion use. We recommend specific performance-grade athletic shoes for indoor court sports.

Does the OrthoLite liner come out?

Yes, the liner is typically removable if you need to use your own custom orthotic inserts.

Is the leather water-resistant?

The leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for leather to provide a light layer of water and stain resistance.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore moisture and luster.

Creasing in the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather shoes; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Slippery soles

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution to remove any residue that may be affecting traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless vintage aesthetic suitable for various styles
  • Durable leather construction for longevity
  • OrthoLite liner provides excellent comfort
  • Versatile beige and brown color scheme
  • Iconic design heritage dating back to 1979

Cons

  • Low-profile sole design lacks heavy arch support

  • Specific sizing can vary based on individual foot shape

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, clean them regularly by wiping down the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the leather in water. For the gum rubber outsole, a gentle brush can help remove debris from the tread. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack. Using a leather conditioner occasionally will help maintain the suppleness of the material.
