FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, some users find sizing up by a half size helpful.
Can I use these for indoor sports?
While originally designed as a handball shoe, this modern reissue is intended for lifestyle fashion and casual use. They lack the technical support required for competitive indoor sports.
How do I keep the white stripes clean?
Use a mild cleaning solution or a dedicated sneaker wipe to spot-clean the white 3-Stripes after each use.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. We recommend using a protective spray to enhance weather resistance.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim. Individuals with wider feet may find them snug and might consider trying a half-size larger for extra width.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Dirty outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the gum rubber base, then wipe dry.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly to maintain consistent tension across the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
- Lacing: Ensure the tonal laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before wearing to prevent unnecessary stretching of the eyelets.
- Weather Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray if you frequently walk in damp environments.
