FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
No, this model is known to be small-fitting, and it is generally recommended that you purchase a larger size than your standard shoe size.
Can I use these for outdoor sports?
While durable, they are designed as indoor handball shoes. They function best on indoor surfaces or casual outdoor settings.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the trainers feature an abrasion-resistant rubber sole that is specifically designed not to leave marks on indoor flooring.
What is the benefit of the Torsion System?
The Torsion System allows for natural movement between the rearfoot and forefoot while providing stability to the midfoot area.
How do I check my size before returning?
Try the shoes on indoors on a clean surface. Compare the UK size listed on the shoe to the box, as conversion labels for US/Euro sizes may vary.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Because the model runs small, individuals with wider feet may find the standard fit quite snug and should consider ordering at least a half or full size up.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the forefoot
Since these are a small-fitting model, ensure you have sized up. If the fit is slightly tight, consider using thinner socks until the leather softens.
Soles collecting debris or losing traction
Regularly brush the outsole with a soft-bristle brush to remove pebbles and dirt that can accumulate in the tread patterns.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soapy solution on a cloth to gently buff out marks, then follow up with a leather protector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, remember that the Spezial series is a small-fitting model. Always try your shoes on before removing tags or disposing of packaging, and pay close attention to the UK sizing, as it may differ from US or Euro labels on the box. For care, wipe down the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material soft and prevent it from drying out over time.
