FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they feature water-repellent heel panels for protection against light moisture, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof footwear.
How does the sizing run for the Handball Spezial WTR?
These trainers generally follow standard adidas sizing; however, the structured leather may feel slightly more snug initially compared to fabric-based shoes.
Can I replace the Aditex sockliners?
Yes, the sockliners are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for additional support.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather designed to handle varied weather conditions.
Are these suitable for sports performance?
While based on a handball silhouette, the WTR (Weather) version is optimized for lifestyle and daily urban use rather than professional court performance.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the laces fully through the metal eyelets before inserting your foot to prevent tension on the leather heel support.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the ripple tread is clear of impacted debris or mud using a soft-bristled brush.
Leather surface appearing dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural shine of the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial WTR trainers remain in optimal condition, perform the following care routine:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner to maintain the integrity of the upper.
- Moisture Protection: While the shoes have water-repellent panels, consider applying a leather-safe water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the exterior surface.
- Drying: Never place leather shoes near a direct heat source, as this can cause the material to crack; always air-dry them at room temperature.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the colour vibrancy and material flexibility.
