FAQs
What is the primary material of the Handball Spezial?
The upper is primarily constructed from rich oiled leather.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While originally designed for indoor sports, they are best suited for casual wear today due to their iconic style and comfort. They are not recommended for high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas Originals or compare with a known pair of adidas shoes. Generally, UK 10.5 is a specific measurement, and consistent sizing can be found by measuring your foot length.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.
How should I care for the leather upper?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner regularly to maintain the leather's quality and appearance.
What does 'Preloved Brown' refer to in the description?
'Preloved Brown' refers to the specific shade of brown leather used, giving a slightly worn-in or vintage aesthetic.
What is the significance of the gold foil wordmarks?
The gold foil wordmarks on the tongue and lateral walls are a premium branding detail that adds a touch of sophistication and highlights the shoe's heritage.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable
The Handball Spezial requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Leather shows water spots or stains
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Apply a leather conditioner once dry. For persistent stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but like most casual shoes, traction may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
