FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they lack the cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can easily replace the laces with standard flat or round laces that match the length of the originals.
Do these fit true to size?
Most users find they fit true to size, but since they are made of leather, there may be a minor break-in period where they feel snug.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the rubber sole provides good grip, leather is a natural material. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Loosen the laces significantly and wear thin socks to allow the leather to naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time.
Difficulty maintaining the leather appearance
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and apply a leather-specific protector spray or cream to maintain moisture and prevent cracking.
Slippage on very smooth surfaces
Ensure the treads are clean; a build-up of debris in the textured pattern can reduce the effectiveness of the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, start by loosening the laces fully when putting them on to avoid damaging the heel counter. These trainers are unisex, but be sure to verify your specific UK size, as the leather material may feel snug initially. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a dry cloth and using a leather-appropriate conditioner periodically. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the sole in place.
