FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, these are now considered lifestyle shoes. They offer good grip for casual wear but may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for intense athletic performance.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. These shoes generally follow standard UK sizing. If unsure, trying them on in person is recommended for the best fit.
What does 'Made in Germany' signify for these shoes?
It signifies that the shoes are manufactured in Germany, highlighting a commitment to high standards of craftsmanship, precision, and quality control associated with German manufacturing.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather and suede upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended and may damage the materials. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
How durable is the rubber sole?
The rubber sole is designed for durability and provides excellent grip for everyday use, maintaining the classic look of the original handball shoe.
What is the difference between the Handball Spezial and Handball Spezial Mig?
The 'Mig' designation often refers to specific editions, such as the 'Made in Germany' version, which emphasizes premium materials and craftsmanship distinct from standard releases.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with new leather and suede. Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Gentle flexing can also help.
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser might be necessary.
Leather shows scuffs.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather repair cream or polish that matches the shoe color.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any footwear.
