FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to verify measurements against the UK size guide.
Can I use these for indoor handball?
While named 'Handball Spezial,' the current lifestyle versions are designed for casual fashion wear rather than professional athletic performance.
How do I remove mud from the soles?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a dry bristled brush before wiping the remainder with a damp cloth.
Is the material waterproof?
The faux leather is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof; avoid submerging them in deep puddles.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics or fresh inserts as needed.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the faux leather upper
Use a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff the affected area.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the rubber sole for debris trapped in the tread and wipe the sole with a dry cloth to clear away slick residue.
Difficulty maintaining a tight fit
Adjust the tension of the laces and ensure the upper strap is secured firmly before beginning your activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial shoes remain in optimal condition, focus on consistent upkeep. Because these are made from faux leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic finish. Instead, use a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water and a mild detergent to gently wipe away surface dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry area and use shoe trees or paper stuffing to help maintain their original shape.
