FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball professionally?
While the Handball Spezial has its roots in handball, this particular model is best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities due to its modern comfort and style focus. For professional play, dedicated performance footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Shadow Red colorway?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede areas, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?
This model is a collaboration with Sporty & Rich, featuring a specific Shadow Red and White colorway and potentially subtle design updates reflecting that partnership. Core construction and silhouette remain true to the classic Handball Spezial.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary between individuals. It's recommended to consult the size guide and, if possible, try them on. Many users find them to fit true to size, but some prefer to size up or down for a looser or tighter fit.
What materials are used in the adidas Handball Spezial Trainers?
These trainers typically feature a combination of suede and leather for the upper, with a rubber outsole. Specific material composition may vary slightly by colorway.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials, especially suede.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new shoes
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This can occur with new, brightly colored shoes. It is often temporary and may lessen with wear. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. For new shoes, the rubber compound might be stiffer; wear may improve grip over time. Be cautious on wet or polished surfaces.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, ensuring equal tension on both sides with each pass. Adjust as needed to achieve a comfortable and uniform fit.
