Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is designed for athletes and casual wearers who prioritize retro aesthetic combined with modern court performance. These indoor trainers excel at providing midfoot stability and forefoot comfort, making them ideal for quick lateral movements. Please note that sizing labels on the box may display US or Euro sizing rather than UK sizing, so it is essential to verify fit before removing any tags.

FAQs

Can these be worn outdoors?

While designed for indoor courts, the abrasion-resistant rubber outsole is durable enough for occasional casual outdoor use, though performance on court surfaces will be superior.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the EVA insole is designed to be removable if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

Always check the size printed on the shoe tongue or internal label, as the packaging may list multiple international sizing standards that differ from the UK size.

What is the Torsion System?

It is a bridge-like technology in the midfoot that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and surface adaptation.

How do I clean the upper material?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a lightly dampened cloth for minor stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels slightly different in size than expected

Verify the UK size on the shoe tongue, as the box may show US or Euro sizes that do not directly correspond to UK sizing labels.

Reduced traction on the court

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or surface oils that can affect grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent lateral stability due to the Torsion System
  • Responsive cushioning for court activities
  • Durable, non-marking outsole suitable for various indoor gym surfaces
  • Lightweight construction for agility
  • Classic vintage design suitable for casual wear

Cons

  • Sizing labels can be confusing due to regional variations
  • Requires proper care to maintain the leather and synthetic upper
  • Primarily designed for indoor court use rather than outdoor rugged terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, try your shoes on immediately upon arrival. Check the inner label rather than relying solely on the box, as labeling conventions vary between markets. For care, wipe down the leather and synthetic upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become damp during play, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. Periodically check the outsole for debris to maintain the integrity of the non-marking rubber.
