Handball Shoes: What Sets Them Apart

A handball shoe is designed for lateral movements, fakes, and landings after jumping shots. Its non-marking rubber sole grips the court or synthetic surface without leaving marks, and its low profile brings the foot closer to the ground for better stability during direction changes. A lateral support keeps the foot secure during abrupt movements, while cushioning at the heel and forefoot absorbs repeated jumps. Hummel, which started in 1923 with football shoes, has made handball one of its flagship sports, offering models for every position and build.

Training Suit and Parka: Winter Gear

The training suit, featuring a zip-up jacket and matching trousers, is worn for warm-ups, during travel to the gym, and on the bench; the Hummel chevrons run down the sleeves and along the legs. The knitted polyester materials dry quickly and maintain their shape after many washes. The parka, long and padded, goes down to the knees to keep warm on the sidelines of an outdoor field, during outdoor tournaments or winter football matches: it's the gear for coaches, substitutes, and parents watching the games. A hood and lined pockets complete the wind protection.

Choosing the Right Size

A pair of shoes can be bought if you know the size and ideally the foot length in centimetres: measure it on the insole of a sports shoe that has already been worn, or check the label on the tongue. Indoor players often wear thick socks: half a centimetre of space in front of the toes helps prevent toenail injuries. Sizes convert poorly from one country to another, making centimetres necessary. If in doubt, a jacket or parka, which are more forgiving, reduces the risk of needing an exchange, and packages prepared and shipped within 24 hours allow time for adjustments before the holidays.

Good Deals

Great bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched promptly. The highlights of the year come in a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the origin of the Hummel name?

Hummel means bumblebee in German: the brand was founded in 1923 in Hamburg before becoming Danish in the 1980s. The bumblebee still appears in its logo, alongside the chevrons that adorn its jerseys and jackets.

What size should I choose for a Hummel training suit?

Refer to the chest measurement for the jacket and waist measurement for the trousers, consulting the brand's size guide. A player wearing the jacket over a warm-up shirt may opt for a little extra room, but not too much to maintain a fitted look.

Can you wear handball shoes outdoors?

It's better to keep them for the gym: asphalt quickly wears down the rubber, and gravel can get stuck in the sole, losing its grip and potentially marking the court. Arrive at the gym with another pair and change shoes on-site.

How long do handball shoes last?

With two or three sessions a week, a pair usually maintains its quality for about one sports season, sometimes two. They should be replaced when the sole becomes smooth under the forefoot or the cushioning collapses, before traction is compromised.

What Hummel gift is good for a handball supporter?

A jacket or parka with chevrons is suitable for the stands as well as daily wear and reminds of the outfits worn by handball teams dressed by the brand. A simple colour, black or navy, easily matches the rest of the wardrobe.
