Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for individuals seeking a blend of heritage-inspired style and everyday durability. With a low-profile silhouette originally engineered for elite indoor sports, these shoes provide reliable comfort for daily wear; however, because they feature a leather construction without modern performance foam cushioning, they are best suited for casual walking rather than high-impact athletic activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on an indoor court design and does not provide the impact protection required for running.
How do I clean the leather material?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a mild leather conditioner periodically to keep the material from drying out.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are made of leather and are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizes, though the low-profile fit is slightly snugger than modern athletic shoes.
Can I remove the insole?
The insoles in the Handball Spezial are generally fixed. We do not recommend removing them as it may compromise the fit and feel of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper showing scuffs
Use a matching leather polish or a gentle leather cleaner to buff out surface imperfections.
Traction feels reduced
Check the outsole for lodged debris and clean the rubber tread with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Stiffness during initial wear
The leather will soften with natural movement. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually break them in.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to standard UK sizing, though the narrow nature of the vintage silhouette may require a slightly wider break-in period if you have a broader foot. To maintain the appearance of the leather upper, keep them away from excessive moisture and dirt. Clean the surface using a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to prevent staining. If the rubber sole picks up debris, use a soft-bristled brush to remove it. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material integrity.
