FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing, though the low-profile, slim cut may feel slightly narrower than modern performance running shoes.

Can I use these for actual handball?

While they were designed for handball in 1979, modern indoor sports shoes offer significantly more specialized support and cushioning.

How do I keep the white leather looking new?

Wipe them down regularly after use and use a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent cracking.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Leather is naturally resistant to light moisture, but heavy rain may damage the material. It is best to avoid deep puddles.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, complemented by a textile lining and a rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

The leather upper is stiff or tight.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your foot.

Outsole loses grip.

Check the tread for debris or small stones lodged in the patterns; clean the rubber surface with a stiff-bristled brush.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a premium leather upper, they arrive ready to wear. To ensure the longest lifespan, consider using a leather-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to guard against spills. If the white leather surface becomes scuffed or dirty, use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to wipe away debris. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the leather grain. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading or the leather from drying out.
