FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, everyday wear rather than running or high-impact athletic activity.
What material is the upper made of?
The trainers feature a high-quality leather upper, which provides durability and a classic, clean aesthetic.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK adult foot sizing. We recommend selecting your usual size for a comfortable, snug fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your leather trainers, as this can damage the material and affect the adhesive bonds. Always hand clean with a soft cloth.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can swap out the standard laces for any flat or oval laces that match the length and width of the originals.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a standard footbed. For those requiring specific arch support, they are compatible with aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and reduce deep-set creases.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Loss of traction on soles
Check the tread for debris or buildup. Clean the rubber outsole with a soft brush and water to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe away surface dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and consider using a shoe tree to maintain the silhouette when not in use. Ensure you check your sizing against standard UK adult measurements before purchase, as the fit is designed to be form-fitting.
