FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.

Can I use these for professional handball?

While originally designed for the sport, modern professional handball requires specialized gear; these are best suited for lifestyle and casual use.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth for surface dirt and a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner to keep the material hydrated and free from stains.

Is the sole non-marking?

The traditional gum sole is typically non-marking, making it suitable for most indoor surfaces.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial silhouette is designed to be worn by anyone, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

It provides standard support consistent with lifestyle trainers; those requiring specialized orthotics can easily remove the stock insole.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Difficulty cleaning the gum sole

Use a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft brush to gently scrub the gum rubber, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile unisex design suitable for various personal styles
  • High-quality leather construction ensures longevity
  • Classic gum sole provides excellent grip
  • Exceptional everyday cushioning comfort

Cons

  • Not specifically designed for modern high-intensity sports
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic mesh
  • Limited to specific retro-inspired colourways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their quality, keep them away from excessive moisture to preserve the leather finish. For routine maintenance, wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the gum sole accumulates debris, a soft-bristled brush can be used to clear the treads. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking over time. For best results, use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
