FAQs
What material is the upper of these trainers made from?
The upper is crafted from smooth leather, providing a premium feel and classic look.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While originating from handball, this specific model is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For high-impact sports or running, we recommend athletic footwear specifically engineered for those activities.
How should I clean the leather upper?
To clean the leather, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully.
What type of sole do these trainers have?
These trainers feature a durable gum rubber outsole, which provides firm traction and adds to their classic aesthetic.
What is the sizing of this specific product?
This particular variant is sized at UK 4, suitable for adults.
Will the Grey color fade over time?
Like all colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Proper storage away from direct light and regular conditioning can help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these leather trainers are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. Applying a leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or stained
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness. Ensure to test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house, adjusting the laces until they stretch slightly and conform to your foot shape. Wearing thicker socks might help during this phase.
Soles are slippery or losing grip
Inspect the gum rubber outsole for embedded dirt or debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and mild soapy water. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing again. Significant wear on the tread may indicate it's time for replacement.
Creasing in the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing the trainers. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help maintain its flexibility and reduce the appearance of deep creases.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather Handball Spezial trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap to maintain traction and prevent dirt buildup.
