Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are a quintessential choice for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and everyday functionality. Originally engineered for elite handball performance in 1979, these trainers offer a sophisticated vintage look that transitions perfectly from casual urban settings to weekend leisure. While their timeless leather construction and gum rubber outsole provide excellent durability and comfort, users should be aware that the low-profile design is tailored for casual wear rather than high-impact athletic training.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for handball?

While they were originally designed for handball in 1979, modern performance sports footwear offers more advanced technology. These are best suited for lifestyle and casual use.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn adidas Originals products before, you should find these to be a consistent fit.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you anticipate walking in damp conditions.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite sock liners can be removed for cleaning or if you need to insert personal orthotic insoles.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers are primarily constructed with premium leather uppers and a durable gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Outer sole becoming slippery

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp brush to remove dust and debris that builds up over time.

Creasing in the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the material retain its natural shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, timeless vintage aesthetic
  • Comfortable interior thanks to OrthoLite technology
  • Durable leather upper material
  • Reliable traction provided by the gum rubber sole

Cons

  • Low-profile design lacks advanced arch support for sports
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Material may require specific leather care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size for most adult feet. To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Care: Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue colourway.
  4. Insole Maintenance: If the OrthoLite liner becomes damp from extended use, remove the liner and allow it to air dry separately to maintain freshness.
