FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional sports?

While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. It offers good grip for everyday activities but may not provide the specialized support needed for competitive professional sports.

How do I clean the oiled leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a specialized leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?

The Handball Spezial is characterized by its vintage handball silhouette, often featuring premium leather, a T-toe design, and specific branding elements like gold foil. It focuses on heritage style and casual comfort.

How should I choose my size?

These shoes generally fit true to size. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper provides some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. If they get wet, dry them naturally.

What does 'curvilinear rubber outsole' mean?

This refers to the curved shape of the rubber outsole, designed to provide enhanced grip and flexibility for natural foot movement during wear.

Is the gold foil branding durable?

The gold foil is applied as a branding element. While generally durable for casual wear, avoid excessive rubbing or abrasion in that specific area to preserve its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffing or marks

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner, following product instructions.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or apply a small amount of talcum powder between the insole and the outsole if accessible.

Discomfort during initial wear

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This is a casual footwear item suitable for adult wear. It pairs well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and tracksuits.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the oiled leather upper:

  1. Wipe Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt and dust after each wear.
  2. Leather Conditioner: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Avoid Water Saturation: While the leather offers some protection, avoid excessive exposure to water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  4. Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to offer additional protection against the elements.
