FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial features a slim, low-profile fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug and might consider going up a half-size.
Can I use these for indoor gym training?
They are suitable for light gym activities like lifting, but they lack the heavy-duty stability required for intense lateral movement or high-impact cardio.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to scrub the rubber, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not designed to be waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
They typically come with the standard set of laces provided at the time of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or ensure the eyelets are fully threaded for maximum tension control.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a leather-safe cleaning wipe or a specialized leather balsam to buff out minor marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard lace-up fit; ensure the laces are tightened comfortably across the instep to secure your foot. To maintain the leather upper, wipe away dirt regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristle brush, following up with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material quality.
