FAQs
What is the main material of the Handball Spezial?
The upper is primarily made of rich oiled leather, offering a premium feel and look.
Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports, they are now best suited for casual wear and light activity due to their classic construction.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush for dust and a slightly damp cloth for marks. Apply a leather conditioner regularly to maintain the material.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways, though this specific model features a brown and gold combination.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered true to size, but some users find them to be slightly narrow. Trying them on or consulting sizing charts is recommended.
What does the gold foil branding signify?
The gold foil wordmarks on the tongue and lateral walls are a premium detailing element, adding a distinctive adidas Originals touch.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, designed to provide lightweight grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. If tightness persists, exploring a half-size larger may be beneficial.
Leather shows scuff marks
For minor scuffs, a leather cleaner or conditioner may help buff them out. For deeper marks, consider a colored leather balm that matches the shoe's shade.
Outsole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip on most surfaces. On very wet or polished floors, caution is advised. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Tongue shifts during wear
Ensure the laces are tied securely and evenly. The tongue is designed to stay in place with proper lacing.
