FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While the Handball Spezial trainers are inspired by original handball shoes, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support or grip required for competitive handball.
How do I clean the embossed croc pattern?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the leather. Avoid excessive pressure on the embossed areas. For tougher dirt, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
What is the difference between COLD CEMENT construction and other methods?
COLD CEMENT construction involves bonding the sole to the upper using adhesives at room temperature. This method generally offers good durability and flexibility for casual wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a waterproofing spray designed for leather can provide additional protection.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options.
What is the fit like?
These trainers have a regular fit. However, individual foot shapes vary, so trying them on is recommended if possible. Some users with wider feet may find them slightly snug.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or with shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or from moisture. Ensure the shoe is dry. If persistent, try applying talcum powder inside the shoe near the sole.
Leather upper shows creases or scuffs
Minor creasing is normal for leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or polish matching the shoe's color. For deep scuffs, professional leather repair might be needed.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks or specialized insoles if the issue persists.
