FAQs
Are these shoes good for playing actual handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the current Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. They offer decent support for casual wear but are not recommended for professional or intense handball play.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The Handball Spezial typically features a combination of leather and suede upper for durability and a classic look.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart or try on shoes in-store. Generally, UK sizes are listed, and the UK 12 is a specific measurement; ensure your foot length corresponds to this size for optimal fit.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean with mild soap and water.
What is the main color combination of this specific model?
This model is in 'Cloud White' with 'Arctic Night' (black) accents.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check product listings for available options.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
For everyday wear, standard athletic or casual socks are suitable. If you find them a bit snug initially, thin socks can help during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks for a short period to allow them to naturally stretch. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoes can sometimes have a slippery sole. Walking on rougher surfaces like concrete or pavement can help to scuff the sole slightly and improve grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.
Minor scuffs or marks on the white material
Use a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner for leather/synthetic materials. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective with gentle use.
