FAQs
Are these suitable for professional handball games?
The Handball Spezial are inspired by the original handball shoes but are generally considered more of a lifestyle and casual wear model today. For professional play, specialized performance footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the adidas sizing chart. If possible, try them on in-store to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
What material are the trainers made of?
The Handball Spezial typically feature a suede or leather upper with a rubber outsole. Specific material composition can be found on the product packaging or label.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its retro design, often featuring a gum sole and suede overlays, originating from indoor sports footwear. Other adidas trainers may have different design origins, technologies, and intended uses.
Will the blue and red colours bleed?
New trainers, especially those with vibrant colours, may experience some initial colour transfer. Wearing darker socks for the first few wears can help mitigate this.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size.
Colour transfer onto socks
This can occur with new coloured footwear. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially until any excess dye has washed out.
Dirt accumulation on the sole
Use a firm brush and water to scrub the sole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing and air drying.
