FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial generally offers a standard width. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit for your child's specific foot shape.

Can these be machine washed?

No, we do not recommend machine washing these leather trainers, as it can damage the material and affect the structure of the shoe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or deep puddles.

What is the primary material used?

These specific trainers are constructed using high-quality leather for the upper and a durable gum rubber for the outsole.

Is the sizing accurate for UK sizes?

Yes, the trainers follow standard UK children's sizing guidelines; refer to our size guide to confirm the best fit.

Can I use these for indoor sports?

The gum rubber outsole is inspired by indoor handball shoes, offering good traction, but they are primarily designed as lifestyle fashion trainers.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are double-knotted or consider replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.

Scuffs on the leather surface

Use a matching-colour leather cream or polish to gently buff out minor scuffs and restore the appearance.

Outsole losing traction

Check for trapped debris or mud in the grooves of the gum sole and clean with a stiff-bristled brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper withstands daily wear
  • Excellent grip provided by the gum rubber sole
  • Distinctive and unique animal pattern design
  • Versatile unisex style suitable for any outfit
  • Comfortable fit designed for active kids

Cons

  • Leather material requires specific cleaning methods
  • Animal pattern may be a bold look for some
  • Limited to casual use rather than technical sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Out of the box, the Handball Spezial requires no special setup; simply loosen the laces to ensure a proper fit for the child's foot. For ongoing care, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dirt regularly. If the leather needs deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically formulated for smooth leathers to maintain the integrity of the animal pattern. Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the sole in place. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
