FAQs

What material are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers made of?

The primary upper material is often cotton with suede accents, and they feature a rubber outsole. Specific material composition can vary slightly by production batch.

Are these shoes suitable for playing professional handball?

While inspired by handball shoes and featuring a non-marking outsole, they are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional play, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for foot length corresponding to each UK size. It's also helpful to read reviews for insights on fit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

They are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended, and the outsole's grip may be compromised on wet surfaces.

What is the purpose of ADIPRENE®?

ADIPRENE® is an impact-absorbing material placed in key areas of the shoe (forefoot and heel) to provide cushioning and reduce stress on the foot during activity.

How does the EVA midsole contribute to comfort?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole is lightweight and provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Handball Spezial series often comes in various colorways. Please check product listings for available options, such as black/white variations.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole is optimized for indoor, non-marking surfaces. For wet or slippery outdoor conditions, extra caution is advised. Clean the outsole to ensure no debris is hindering grip.

Shoe feels stiff initially

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Minor scuffs or marks on the upper

Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces become worn

Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length and material for continued secure fit.
