FAQs

Are the adidas Originals Handball Spezial suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, this specific model is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. It may not offer the specialized support and features required for competitive handball.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try the shoes on with the type of socks you would typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without your heel slipping excessively. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and affect the shoe's construction. Hand clean using the care instructions provided.

What is the main material of the shoe?

The upper of the shoe is made from premium leather, offering comfort and durability.

What does the 'Spezial' line signify?

The Spezial line from adidas Originals typically refers to heritage-inspired footwear, often drawing from classic sports designs with a focus on authentic materials and retro aesthetics.

How should I store my Handball Spezial shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag offers protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather may stretch slightly with wear. Consider wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a gradual adjustment.

Discoloration on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the shoe's color. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Slippery outsole on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but like all footwear, grip may be reduced on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have chosen the correct size before wearing them.

Compatibility:

The Handball Spezial is a versatile lifestyle shoe designed to be worn with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and casual skirts or dresses. It is suitable for adult wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber outsole. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a mild soap and water solution.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
