Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage-inspired athletic style and everyday comfort. This iconic silhouette features a distinctive low-profile aesthetic with signature detailing, making it an excellent choice for casual wear; however, users should note that the flat gum sole offers less arch support compared to modern performance running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the slim design might feel more fitted than other adidas models.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by indoor court sports and do not provide the cushioning or support needed for running.

What is the best way to clean the upper material?

Gently wipe with a soft cloth and, if necessary, use a cleaner specifically designed for the material type of the shoe.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The Handball Spezial has a relatively flat footbed; individuals requiring specific arch support may benefit from adding an aftermarket insole.

Are these unisex?

This model is specified for women, but the sizing and style are often versatile across different preferences.

Troubleshooting

The trainers feel too snug across the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser, or wear thinner socks to allow the material to break in naturally.

Gum sole shows scuffs or marking

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of soap to gently buff away surface marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, versatile retro design
  • High-quality construction and detailing
  • Durable gum rubber outsole for traction
  • Iconic adidas branding

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
  • Sizing can vary compared to performance trainers
  • Flat sole may not suit all foot types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing, though consider that the slim profile may feel snug initially.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, avoiding total immersion in water to protect the material.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the brown and gold accents.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for debris to maintain optimal grip.
