FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and do not have the cushioning or support required for running.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and follow up with a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size guide for your foot measurements.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to replace them with orthotics if you require additional arch support.

What surfaces are these best for?

They are ideal for indoor flooring, concrete, and asphalt, providing great everyday grip.

Are these made of real leather?

Yes, this specific model features a high-quality leather upper.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and use a double knot for extra security.

Creasing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce depth of creases.

Surface dirt on the outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to scrub the rubber sole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper construction
  • Classic, versatile vintage aesthetic
  • Reliable grip from the rubber outsole
  • Comfortable padded collar for daily wear

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
  • Low-profile sole is not suitable for high-impact sports
  • Leather requires specific care to prevent creasing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best fit, ensure you use the lace-up system to secure the midfoot, as this helps maintain the shoe's shape. For care, wipe the leather surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and compromise the material integrity. Using a leather conditioner occasionally can help keep the material supple and prevent premature creasing.
