Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial is a versatile, unisex trainer designed for adults who appreciate a blend of heritage sports aesthetics and everyday comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball players in 1979, these shoes offer a durable premium leather construction and a low-profile design that complements casual wardrobes; however, users should note that the flat, indoor-heritage sole provides less arch support than modern performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on a heritage handball design and lacks the cushioning and support required for running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Handball Spezial fits true to standard adult UK sizes; it is recommended to purchase your usual size.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Is the material waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and suede, which are not inherently waterproof and should be treated with a leather-appropriate protective spray if needed.
Are these for men or women?
The Handball Spezial is a unisex model designed for all adult users.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The upper is primarily premium leather with suede accents, and the sole is made from a classic, soft rubber compound.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white leather surface
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner to gently wipe the affected area.
Sole has lost some traction due to buildup
Clean the translucent rubber outsole with a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove debris trapped in the tread.
Creasing on the toe box
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when storing the shoes to help them maintain their shape when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are classic leather trainers, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. To keep the leather and suede accents in top condition, wipe away dirt immediately with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as this can degrade the leather finish. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking. For sizing, ensure you consult your specific UK adult size, as the fit is standard; check for a snug but comfortable heel lockdown and adequate wiggle room in the toe box.
