FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing football?

While inspired by indoor handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is now considered a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for high-impact competitive sports.

What is the best way to clean the suede or leather finish?

For leather versions, use a damp cloth and mild leather conditioner. If your specific pair features suede components, use a suede brush to lift dirt gently.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer wearing thinner socks to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather, weaken the adhesives, and distort the shape of the shoe. Stick to manual cleaning methods.

Is the Manchester United crest durable?

The crest is designed to be resilient, but avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals to ensure the graphics remain intact over time.

Are these shoes unisex?

While the specific model listed is for males, the Handball Spezial series is often available in a variety of unisex sizing and colorways across the collection.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help minimize deep creases and maintain the silhouette.

Difficulty removing scuffs

Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of non-abrasive leather cleaner on a microfiber cloth, working in gentle circular motions.

Soles becoming slippery

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any buildup of dust or debris that might be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their shape and aesthetic, follow these best practices:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner for deep stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the original structure and prevent creasing.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard UK sizing for adults. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks—thinner cotton or performance socks are recommended to keep the fit consistent.
