Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is a timeless lifestyle trainer designed for adults who appreciate vintage aesthetics combined with reliable daily comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball players in 1979, these shoes are perfect for casual wear, offering a soft suede upper and a supportive fit. While they provide excellent style and all-day cushioning, they are primarily built for lifestyle use rather than high-performance athletic training.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Handball Spezial generally follows a standard regular fit; however, personal preference for roomier or snugger shoes may influence your choice.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and to use a suede protector spray.

Are these suitable for gym workouts?

These are primarily lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support and cushioning required for high-impact gym sessions or heavy weightlifting.

Do the insoles come out?

The OrthoLite sock liners are generally removable if you need to use your own orthotic inserts.

How do I identify a genuine pair?

Always check for the signature serrated 3-stripes, the metallic Spezial Trefoil side motif, and verify the model number (MPN) on the box.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or worn

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift the fibers.

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before stepping into the shoe, then adjust the tension starting from the bottom eyelets.

Outer sole shows marks

Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore its original appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Breathable and soft suede material
  • Excellent comfort provided by OrthoLite technology
  • Durable gum rubber outsole with reliable grip

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity sports or technical handball play

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure which allows for a customized fit to ensure your foot remains secure. To maintain the condition of your Handball Spezial trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to gently remove surface dust or dirt from the suede.
  2. Stain Prevention: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first wear to protect against the elements.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
  4. Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a shoe tree and let them air dry naturally; never expose them to direct heat sources like radiators.
