FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle sneakers. They lack the cushioning and motion control technology required for professional running.
How do I determine my size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size as the profile is quite slim.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive. Always hand-clean them to preserve the materials.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, this model features leather construction, which is known for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Does the gum sole leave marks on floors?
No, the gum rubber used in these shoes is non-marking, making them safe for indoor use.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with cotton flat laces for better friction.
Surface stains on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial sneakers stay in top condition:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened to match your foot width; leather will stretch slightly, so start with a snug fit.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized suede or leather cleaner if the specific pair has suede accents.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel light rain and prevent dirt from setting into the grain.
- Rotation: Allow the shoes to air out for 24 hours between heavy uses to maintain freshness.
