FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for casual wear and offer comfort and style. They are not intended for high-performance athletic play.
How do I clean the leather and the gold detailing?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher spots. Clean the gold detailing gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
What is ADIPRENE® technology?
ADIPRENE® is an adidas cushioning technology located in the forefoot and heel that absorbs impact, providing enhanced comfort and support during wear.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Sizing can be subjective. It's recommended to check customer reviews for feedback on fit or, if possible, try them on in-store to ensure the best fit.
What material are the shoes made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, with a textile lining and a rubber outsole.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What does the "Spezial" lettering signify?
"Spezial" is a term used by adidas for specific lines of footwear, often referencing retro or archival designs, particularly those with a sports heritage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if they feel too tight. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Creasing on the leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, use a shoe tree when not in use. Minor creases can sometimes be smoothed out with leather conditioners.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are dry, and then reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Poor grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The outsole is designed for non-marking and general traction; it may perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.

- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or machine wash them in a garment bag. Replace if worn or damaged.
