FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard UK size.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are generally glued in for stability, but they can be removed with care if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While durable, these are fashion trainers and are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.
What is the best way to lace them?
Standard criss-cross lacing provides the best balance of comfort and security for daily use.
Do these shoes require a breaking-in period?
Most users find them comfortable from the first wear, though the upper material will soften slightly and contour better to your foot after a few days.
Are these trainers for men or women?
These are categorized as unisex style trainers, and sizes are based on standard UK men's sizing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize visible creasing.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Double-knot the laces or swap to waxed laces for increased friction and hold.
Stains on the exterior material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
