FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, modern versions like the Handball Spezial are primarily lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced shock absorption required for current elite-level sports.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally runs true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the leather upper and the glue construction. Always hand-clean using recommended leather care products.

What material is the upper made of?

The version featured uses high-quality smooth leather.

What is the primary color of this model?

This specific model features a blue base with red accent details.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuff marks

Use a leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently buff the scuff away.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double-knot or using a secure runner's knot for a tighter fit.

Creasing near the toe box

Creasing is natural for leather shoes; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape and reduce deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial stays in pristine condition, regular care is essential. Since the upper is made of smooth leather, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each wear. If the leather gets stained, use a leather-specific cleaner and a soft brush, followed by a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the blue and red colorway. When choosing your size, remember that these run true to standard adult sizing, providing a snug but comfortable fit from the first wear.
