The Kempa Kudos is certainly a very good handball shoe. It is well made and so were it not for the problem with the size. Compared to the same size (you have written size) Pume evoSPEED Indoor, also in Gr. 43 / UK 9 which fits me perfectly (my size is measured 42.5) is the loosely Kempa to 1.5 sizes too small. I would order it to me next time min. In 44 or even 44.5. 2 stars, there is deduction, because the distributor's failure on this issue to point sizes.
