Product Information
Full details
The adidas Spezial Low shoes are engineered for athletes and casual wearers who require a blend of court-ready stability and everyday comfort. Designed primarily for handball, these shoes offer superior impact protection and midfoot integrity, making them an excellent choice for dynamic movement. A notable caveat for prospective buyers is that the model is known to be a small fitting, so you may need to order a half or full size larger than your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor handball and court sports. While durable, they lack the specific motion-control features and cushioning needed for long-distance outdoor running.
Can I use these for other sports?
Yes, they are excellent for activities requiring lateral stability and short bursts of movement, such as squash, volleyball, or gym circuit training.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
Yes, they feature a cleanliness sole/insole that can be removed for cleaning or replacing with orthotics.
What does the Torsion System do?
The Torsion System is a lightweight bridge between the forefoot and heel that allows the front and rear of the foot to move independently, providing better surface adaptation and stability.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight around the toes
The Spezial model is a small fit; try wearing thinner athletic socks or consider sizing up if you are still within the exchange window.
Sole is losing grip on the court
Dust and debris can accumulate on the outsole. Wipe the rubber base with a damp cloth to restore the non-marking grip properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are small-fitting, it is recommended to try them on wearing the same type of socks you intend to use for sports. If you are ordering online, check the physical label on the shoe upon arrival, as UK, US, and Euro sizing scales may vary.
To maintain the leather or suede upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt after use. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the bonding agents and materials. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. Store in a cool, dry place to keep the interior clean and odor-free.
