FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial features a slim, low-profile fit. Those with wider feet might find them snug and may prefer to try them on first or consider a half-size increase.
Can I use these for indoor sports?
While they were originally designed for indoor sports, modern technical trainers offer more support. They are best suited for light activity and casual wear.
How do I maintain the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Do the shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
What is the purpose of the gum sole?
The gum sole provides authentic retro style and offers excellent traction and durability on smooth indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with leather trainers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape.
Difficulty cleaning the gum sole
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub dirt out of the textured rubber patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, keep them clean by wiping the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, though users with wider feet may find the slim profile requires a brief break-in period. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from stiffening or cracking.
