Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Handball Spezial is a low-profile, heritage-inspired trainer designed for women who value a blend of archival 1970s indoor-sport style and reliable everyday comfort. These trainers feature premium leather construction, classic T-toe detailing, and a distinctive gum sole that provides excellent traction for casual urban environments; however, users should note that the low-profile design provides minimal arch support, making them less suitable for high-intensity athletic activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle fashion sneaker. It lacks the cushioning and technical support required for running.
How does the sizing run?
They feature a standard, slim fit. If you have wider feet, you may consider sizing up for comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the gum sole adhesive. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What is the primary material?
This specific model features a high-quality leather upper combined with durable rubber for the outsole.
Does the gum sole leave marks on floors?
No, the gum rubber is non-marking, making it suitable for indoor environments.
Are these sneakers gender-specific?
While listed for women, the design is highly versatile and fits anyone who prefers the Handball Spezial aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather and reduce deep set creases.
Difficulty keeping the trainers clean
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear before the first use.
Slippage at the heel
Ensure the laces are tied firmly using a runner's loop or double knot to secure the heel lock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile retro design that fits modern street style
- High-quality leather construction ensures longevity

Cons
- Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
- Leather material requires careful cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh chemical cleaners. Since this pair features premium leather, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner using a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Because of their slim fit, if you intend to wear thicker socks, you may find the standard sizing snug, and it is recommended to use the lace-up closure to adjust the tension across the bridge of the foot.
