Adidas Handball Spezial - Pink - Leather - UK 8.5

For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial models are considered true to UK size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.

While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. For best protection, apply a water-repellent leather spray regularly.

The choice of socks depends on personal preference. Ankle socks or no-show socks work well for a casual look, while crew socks can complement a more retro or sporty style. Ensure socks are breathable to maintain foot comfort.

Info needed: Some adidas models have removable insoles, while others do not. You can check by gently attempting to lift the insole from the heel area. If it comes out easily, it is likely removable.

The adidas Handball Spezial typically features a durable gum rubber outsole, known for its excellent grip and classic aesthetic, providing good traction and longevity for everyday wear.

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's original shape. Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent excessive creasing.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Apply a UV-protective leather spray if available, or a general leather protector, which can also help shield against color degradation.

Leather shoes can take some time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. Thinner socks or gentle stretching with a shoe stretcher can help. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.

The squeaking might come from friction between the insole and the sole, or between the shoe and the floor. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole if it's removable. Ensure soles are clean and dry.
