FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK sizing conventions for adult trainers.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives. Hand cleaning is recommended.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather.

Is the outsole slip-resistant?

The shoe features a grippy textured rubber outsole designed for reliable traction on common surfaces.

Are these suitable for sports activities?

While they were originally designed for handball, they are primarily marketed today as lifestyle and casual trainers.

How do I maintain the gold-tone branding?

Avoid scrubbing the area where the gold foil branding is applied to prevent it from fading or peeling.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or dirt

Gently clean with a slightly damp microfiber cloth or a dedicated leather cleaning solution suitable for white leather.

Laces feel loose during wear

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and tied with a secure double knot if extra tension is required.

Interior odor

Use cedar shoe trees or a fabric-safe deodorizing spray to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their quality, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against the elements.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Use specialized leather cleaner for tougher scuffs.
  3. Lining Maintenance: Remove the laces occasionally and allow the shoes to air out to keep the interior textile lining fresh.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather and white pigments to fade or yellow over time.
  5. Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your foot profile.
