Full details
The Adidas Handball Spezial trainers in blue are designed for adult men seeking classic, versatile footwear for everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball, these are classic trainers designed primarily for casual everyday wear. They offer good grip but lack the specialized support needed for competitive handball.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart and measure your foot. The UK 13 size is listed, but it's recommended to check your foot length against Adidas sizing guides for the best fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean using the care instructions provided.
What is the main difference between this blue colorway and others?
The primary difference is the color of the upper, lining, and sometimes accent colors. This specific model features a blue mesh and synthetic upper.
How durable is the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is durable for everyday wear and provides excellent grip. However, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces can lead to faster wear compared to specialized rubber compounds.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of blue mesh and synthetic materials for breathability and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being overly tight.
Gum sole is losing grip.
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
Discoloration on the upper.
For minor marks, try wiping with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specific shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic and mesh materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
