Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort.

FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes made of?

These shoes feature a leather upper and a rubber gum sole.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support and grip required for competitive handball.

How do I clean the brown leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner for brown leather. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the primary color scheme of these shoes?

The primary color scheme is brown with cream white accents, including the iconic stripes and detailing.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper can withstand light moisture, but the gum sole may become slippery on wet surfaces. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or on very wet ground.

Do these shoes come in different widths?

The product information provided does not specify width options. Standard sizing is assumed, and the leather may stretch slightly with wear to accommodate different foot shapes.

What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?

'Spezial' is German for 'special'. In the context of adidas, it often refers to archival or classic designs given a contemporary update.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thin socks for a short period to allow the leather to stretch. If the tightness persists, consider professional stretching or ensure you have the correct size.

Gum sole losing grip

Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are not used on excessively wet or slippery surfaces.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and store the shoes with shoe trees or by stuffing them when not in use.

Color transfer from leather

This can occur with new leather. Wear with darker socks initially. Using a leather protector spray can help seal the color. If transfer is significant, consult a shoe care specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The Handball Spezial is designed for general adult use and pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual dresses. They are not intended for specific sports activities that require specialized footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for brown leather.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if exposed to adverse weather.
  4. Sole Care: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
