FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Handball Spezial?

The primary materials typically include leather and suede, with a gum rubber outsole, offering a combination of durability and classic style.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, the current iteration is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the specialized support and performance required for competitive handball.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart, which usually provides measurements for foot length corresponding to UK sizes. Comparing with a current pair of well-fitting shoes can also help.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the gum sole offers some grip, the shoe materials (especially suede) are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to treat them with a protective spray.

What does 'Alumina/Wonder Beige/Gum' refer to?

This describes the colorway: 'Alumina' and 'Wonder Beige' are shades of off-white and light beige, while 'Gum' refers to the natural rubber color of the sole.

What is the SKU for this specific model?

The SKU for this specific model is JI2644.

Where are these shoes made?

Information on the country of manufacture is typically found on the shoe's tongue label or inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or wearing them for a few days to break them in. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Color transfer from gum sole

New gum soles can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing them with lighter-colored socks or on light surfaces. This usually diminishes with wear.

Material scuffs or marks

For leather parts, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush. Address marks promptly to prevent them from setting.
