FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing. If you have wider feet, you may find the regular fit snug due to the leather upper.

Can I use these for sports?

While originally designed for handball, this model is now marketed as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for daily wear rather than high-intensity sports.

How do I keep the white leather clean?

Wipe the exterior regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a gentle leather cleaner applied with a soft brush.

Is the sole non-marking?

The gum rubber sole is typically non-marking, making it suitable for indoor gym floors.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles in this model are generally fixed, but some users may be able to replace them with slim orthotics if extra support is needed.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks scuffed or dull

Apply a mild leather conditioner or polish designed for white footwear to restore shine and cover minor marks.

Laces coming untied too easily

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the top eyelets and consider a double knot if the factory-style lacing is loose.

Creasing at the toe box

Leather creasing is normal with wear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather construction ensures longevity
  • Timeless aesthetic that remains relevant across seasons

  • White leather requires regular cleaning to maintain pristine appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel stiff initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or specialized leather cleaner to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or sole discoloration.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective leather spray to repel moisture and stains, especially given the white colourway.
  5. Lacing: Adjust the lace tension regularly to maintain a consistent fit as the leather relaxes over time.
