FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial features a regular fit, which generally aligns with standard UK sizing conventions for adidas products.

Can these be used for sports?

While originally designed for handball, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use today, rather than high-performance indoor sports.

What is the best way to clean the gum sole?

Use a damp cloth and a soft brush with soapy water to clear dirt from the tread patterns on the outsole.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite sock liners can typically be removed if you wish to insert custom orthotics or replace the liners.

What materials are the trainers made of?

These trainers feature premium leather construction with a durable gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too snug around the midfoot.

Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and re-tighten them to provide more room across the bridge of the foot.

The leather upper has developed scuff marks.

Gently use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated leather cleaner to buff out surface-level marks; avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable gum rubber outsole offers excellent traction

Cons

  • Light-colored materials are prone to showing dirt and scuffs

  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain the bright white finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a regular fit, most users will find they perform best when worn with standard-weight cotton socks. To ensure the longevity of the white leather upper, it is recommended to apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent before initial use. For cleaning, wipe down the leather portions with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can damage the structural adhesives and the integrity of the leather. Periodically remove the laces to clean them separately if they become soiled to maintain the overall crisp look of the footwear.
