FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a unisex model, though availability may vary by size.

Can I use these for running?

These are lifestyle trainers. While durable, they lack the cushioning and arch support required for serious running.

What material are they made of?

These specific shoes feature a high-quality leather upper.

How do I ensure I order the right size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults; ensure you check your current foot measurement against the size guide before ordering.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.

How do I keep the black color vibrant?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use and use appropriate black leather care products.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Dirty outsole grip

Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean.

Leather looks dull

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather to restore the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile black colorway fits many wardrobe styles
  • High-quality leather material for lasting durability
  • Comfortable padded collar design
  • Reliable grip from the rubber outsole
  • Timeless design that never goes out of style

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
  • Leather requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Low-top design offers less ankle stability than high-tops

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are a low-top unisex style, they pair effortlessly with denim, chinos, or athletic shorts. To keep your pair in prime condition, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
