FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, the Handball Spezial fits true to standard UK sizes. If you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive components. Stick to hand cleaning with recommended products.

Are these suitable for heavy gym use?

These are lifestyle trainers. While they are durable, they lack the cushioning and stability features found in specialized athletic gym shoes.

How do I protect the leather?

Apply a leather protector spray specifically designed for sneakers to guard against moisture and stains before the first wear.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber compound used is standard for this model; while generally suitable for indoor courts, check with specific facility requirements.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Slippery soles on smooth surfaces

While the outsole is designed for grip, ensure the treads are free of debris or grit by wiping them down with a damp cloth.

Difficulty maintaining fit

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and tied with an even tension across the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their quality, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size for your foot shape, as the leather material offers minimal stretch over time. For care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the uppers. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Keep the shoes away from excessive heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
