No, the leather construction is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to provide some water resistance and protect against stains.
The Adidas Handball Spezial runs true to size for most. We recommend purchasing your usual UK adult shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or referring to Adidas's official sizing guide.
While the Handball Spezial originated as an indoor sports shoe, this leather version is primarily designed for casual wear. For high-performance sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
Light cleaning after each wear is beneficial. Conditioning should be done every 1-3 months depending on usage and environmental exposure, or when the leather starts to feel dry or look dull.
These shoes are versatile. You can wear them with athletic socks for comfort, or invisible/no-show socks for a more minimalist look during warmer weather. Always wear socks to help manage moisture and reduce odor.
The gum rubber outsole is designed for durability. With typical casual use, it should last for a long time. Excessive dragging or use on very abrasive surfaces may accelerate wear.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a dry cloth.
Use a specialized leather stain remover following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For oil stains, a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder can absorb the oil overnight before brushing off.
Mix warm water with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Dip a soft brush or old toothbrush into the solution and gently scrub the sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Remove insoles and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.
