FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial are best suited for casual wear and everyday use. They may not provide the specific performance or support needed for competitive handball.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the adidas sizing chart. Trying them on in-store is the most reliable method, as fit can be personal.
What is the best way to clean the Power Blue and Red colourway?
Use a soft brush for loose dirt and a damp cloth for light marks. For suede or leather parts, use specific cleaners designed for those materials. Always allow them to air dry.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with various types of socks, from thin ankle socks for a casual look to thicker athletic socks for added comfort. The choice depends on your preference and the weather.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Handball Spezial trainers are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a waterproofing spray, especially if they have suede or leather components, to offer some resistance to moisture.
What does 'Handball Spezial' mean?
'Handball Spezial' translates to 'Handball Special' in German. It refers to the original design of the shoe, which was created for the sport of handball.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed or if they require a break-in period.
Soles appear worn quickly
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (casual wear) and not for strenuous athletic activities. Check for embedded objects causing accelerated wear.
Material (e.g., suede) looks dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
