FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically follows standard adult UK sizing.
Can these be used for handball?
While originally designed for handball, modern technology has moved forward. These are now best suited for casual, lifestyle, and fashion-focused wear.
How do I protect the white leather?
Using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect the surface from everyday spills and dirt.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for indoor use and is generally considered non-marking.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim and minimalist. If you have wide feet, you may find them snug, though the leather does soften with consistent wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.
Outsole picking up debris
The translucent rubber structure can collect small pebbles; use a dull edge or soft brush to gently remove debris from the grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to prevent dust and dirt buildup. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. When sizing, these trainers generally adhere to standard adult UK sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size (e.g., 11.5) to ensure a comfortable fit for your foot width. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration of the white leather or green details.
