FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The oiled leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean the oiled leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner for oiled leather is recommended, followed by a conditioning product.

Can I wear these for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not recommended for high-impact running due to their design origins.

How do I ensure a good fit?

The trainers feature a lace closure for an adjustable fit. They are designed with a regular fit, so it's recommended to choose your usual shoe size.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of durable gum rubber, which provides excellent grip and traction.

Are there other color options available?

While this guide focuses on the Brown variant, other colorways and styles may be available in the Handball Spezial series.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.

Gum sole discoloration

Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can affect the rubber.

Stiffness in the leather

Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. You can also use a leather conditioner specifically designed for oiled leather.
