FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, these are primarily designed for casual wear and street style. They offer good grip but may not provide the specialized support and protection required for competitive handball.
How do I clean the oiled leather upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth. It's recommended to use a leather conditioner specifically for oiled leather to maintain its appearance and suppleness.
What is the main difference between the Handball Spezial and other Adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its vintage design, often featuring an oiled leather upper and a distinct gum rubber outsole, offering a classic aesthetic rooted in its athletic heritage.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper is not waterproof. While the gum rubber sole offers some protection, it is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
How should I store my Handball Spezial trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these trainers can last for several years, especially with moderate, casual wear. The durability of the leather and rubber outsole contributes to their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes for short periods. Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness occurs.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Ensure you are using a product appropriate for oiled leather.
Gum sole shows discoloration
Minor discoloration may occur with wear. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Persistent marks might be difficult to remove completely from gum rubber.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with new ones. Standard shoelaces of a similar length can be used.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, especially on the oiled leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for oiled leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
