FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series is generally designed with a regular fit that aligns with standard adult sizing.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods only.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

This specific variant uses premium leather for the upper construction.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The regular fit accommodates most foot shapes, though the leather will slightly soften and contour to your foot over time.

How often should I clean them?

Depending on usage, a quick wipe down after heavy wear is recommended to prevent dirt buildup.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are properly tightened across all eyelets.

Creasing on the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Loss of traction on the gum sole

Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris buildup that may be compromising the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather upper. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a damp cloth.
  2. Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray can help protect the surface from unexpected weather.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, consider adjusting the lacing pattern at the forefoot for additional room.
