FAQs
How do I choose the right size for Adidas Handball Spezial?
Measure your foot length from heel to toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger size. Individual foot shapes can affect fit.
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball games?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. They may not offer the specialized support required for professional play.
What is the best way to clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used cautiously. Always air dry away from heat.
Will the gum sole leave marks on indoor floors?
Gum rubber soles can sometimes leave marks on certain types of flooring. It's advisable to be mindful of the surface you are walking on, especially in indoor environments.
How long does it take for the shoes to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual. Typically, the leather will become more supple and comfortable after a few wears.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial are a unisex design and suitable for adults of any gender.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, offering durability and a classic look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have measured your foot length accurately according to the provided instructions. If between sizes, choose the larger one. Leather may stretch slightly with wear; consider wearing thin socks during the break-in period.
Gum sole is dirty or scuffed
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser, testing first on a small area.
Leather shows creases or minor marks
Creases are natural with leather. Minor marks can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's appearance.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The gum sole provides good traction, but grip may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner designed for athletic shoes can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
