FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally follows standard sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them slightly snug due to the low-profile design.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid the washing machine. Harsh water and agitation can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the gum sole.

Are these suitable for sports like handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern versions are optimized for lifestyle and daily wear. For professional-level sports, consider a dedicated high-performance indoor court shoe.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. If the gum becomes slippery or grimy, a soft toothbrush can help reach the grooves in the tread.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to preserve the leather finish.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty keeping laces tied

Ensure the laces are threaded properly; double-knotting is a common fix for flat, athletic-style laces.

Staining on white leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, keep the following tips in mind:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to contour to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For the leather upper, wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack over time.
  4. Sole Maintenance: If the gum sole accumulates debris, wipe with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive sponges that might scuff the rubber.
