FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these for intense gym workouts?
While they include ADIPRENE technology for comfort, these are primarily lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual activities rather than heavy-duty gym performance.
How do I maintain the gold-foil lettering?
Avoid scrubbing the area where the lettering is placed to prevent the foil from peeling or wearing away prematurely.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather-appropriate water-repellent spray to protect against light moisture and rain.
What is the primary difference between the leather and suede versions?
The leather version is generally easier to clean and wipe down, whereas the suede versions provide a softer texture but require specific suede brushes and cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Stains on the white leather surface
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild leather-safe cleaning solution; test on a small, hidden spot first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. Since these shoes feature leather, it is recommended to wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials and the adhesive. For deep cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white footwear. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading over time. Ensure the laces are loosened before sliding the foot in to preserve the shape of the padded collar.
