Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed as men's, the Handball Spezial silhouette is frequently worn by all genders due to its classic, neutral design.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the technical cushioning and support required for long-distance running or high-impact exercise.
How do I determine my size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the adidas size guide, or choosing your standard size in similar adidas Originals models.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the materials used in the Handball Spezial are not inherently waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray if you live in a damp climate.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We strongly advise against machine washing, as the heat and agitation can ruin the adhesives and the structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of the materials; using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers can help maintain their shape.
Difficulty cleaning light-coloured stains
Use a dedicated suede or leather cleaning kit appropriate for the specific upper material, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the upper materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Regarding compatibility, these trainers run true to the classic adidas sizing; we recommend checking your current adidas footwear size to ensure the perfect fit for the UK 5.5 variant.
