FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence the fit.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While originally designed for the sport, modern Handball Spezial trainers are primarily intended as lifestyle fashion pieces.
How do I clean the green and brown material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap for localized spots, ensuring you do not soak the material.
Are these unisex?
While the listed item is specifically sized for men, the Handball Spezial silhouette is frequently worn by all genders due to its classic design.
Will the gum rubber outsole mark indoor floors?
No, the traditional gum rubber used on these models is non-marking, making them safe for most indoor surfaces.
Is the leather/suede water-resistant?
They are not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a protective spray specifically designed for suede to help repel light moisture.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the bridge of the foot to allow for more volume.
Surface dirt accumulating on the exterior
Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the material's texture.
Insole comfort fading over time
Consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket orthotics if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the design often utilizes suede or soft synthetic materials, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the structure and color vibrancy. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the lining.
