FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball?
While based on the Handball Spezial heritage, these versions are designed for casual lifestyle use. Modern professional sports performance requires specialized equipment.
How do I determine my size?
The sizes provided are in UK adult measurements. We recommend comparing these against your current adidas footwear for the most accurate fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand cleaning with a soft brush is the safest method.
Are these shoes unisex?
The Handball Spezial is a classic series, and while listed here as a male variant, many users find the fit suitable across different gender categories if sized correctly.
Will the color fade over time?
As with any footwear, exposure to direct sunlight and water can cause some fading. Regular care and proper storage will help maintain the intensity of the red and blue colors.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double-knot technique or replace laces with a textured alternative for better friction.
Creasing at the toe box
Use plastic or wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structural integrity and shape of the leather/synthetic upper.
Outer sole traction reduced
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated grit or oil which can affect surface grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition:
- Fit Check: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the low-top profile relies on a snug heel fit to prevent slippage.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, apply a specialized sneaker cleaner and wipe gently with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the vibrant red and blue uppers.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions to protect the exterior finish.
