FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may stretch slightly over time to accommodate your foot shape.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle fashion sneakers. They lack the cushioning and motion control technology required for long-distance running.
How do I keep the white leather looking new?
Wipe them down after every wear to prevent dirt from settling into the leather grain, and store them away from direct sunlight.
Is the material waterproof?
While the leather provides some natural water resistance, the shoes are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Spezial model has a relatively slim profile. If you have very wide feet, you may find the fit quite snug across the midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently remove surface marks without damaging the material.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Loss of traction on smooth indoor floors
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of dust or lint; wipe with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, start by applying a water-resistant spray suitable for leather before your first wear. For daily care, wipe away dirt with a slightly damp cloth after use. If the leather begins to look dry, use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid machine washing or drying these shoes, as excessive heat can warp the rubber and compromise the adhesive bonds of the shoe. When sizing, ensure you consult the UK sizing standard to achieve the intended fit, as the silhouette is designed to be slim and form-fitting.
