FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults.
Can these be used for professional sports?
While originally designed for handball, this version is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual use.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products; avoid submerging them in water.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber sole is designed for durability and grip, suitable for most indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the low-profile shape may feel snug for those with very wide feet.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Outsole loses grip due to debris.
Use a damp brush to clear the tread pattern of stones, dust, or mud to restore the traction of the structured sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you choose your regular size as the leather will have a slight natural stretch over time.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather care, apply a mild leather-safe cleaner with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly to maintain the integrity of the padded collar support.
