FAQs

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your measurement falls between two standard sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for optimal comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Adidas Handball Spezial are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip and support for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Always air dry and consider using a leather conditioner to maintain the material's condition.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of rubber, specifically a gum sole, which provides durability and traction, characteristic of the Handball Spezial series.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, washing machines are not recommended for cleaning leather trainers. This can damage the leather, glue, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does 'Off White Black Gum' refer to?

This refers to the colorway: 'Off White' is the primary color of the upper, 'Black' is used for accents (like the stripes and heel tab), and 'Gum' refers to the color of the rubber outsole.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific listing is for a men's size 5.5 UK, the Handball Spezial series is often produced in unisex sizing and is worn by individuals of all genders.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect upon arrival.

Refer to the sizing guide provided and measure your foot. If between sizes, the recommendation is to choose the larger one. Consider the possibility of a manufacturing variation or compare with previous Adidas footwear if available.

Leather shows signs of creasing.

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when storing. Leather conditioners can help maintain suppleness.

Gum sole scuffs easily.

Gum soles can be prone to scuffing. Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a magic eraser or specialized shoe cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Discoloration of the 'Off White' material.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or dirty surfaces. Clean with a damp cloth promptly after exposure to potential staining agents. A light leather cleaner may help if discoloration occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no assembly. Upon arrival, they are ready to wear. The primary setup involves ensuring you have selected the correct size. It is recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the sizing guide. If your measurement falls between two sizes, opt for the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are highly compatible with casual wear. They pair well with jeans, shorts, chinos, and track pants. Their design makes them suitable for a variety of informal settings.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
  • Leather Care: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  • Soles: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
