Adidas Handball Spezial Shoes - Red - Low Shoes - Size 11 UK

While inspired by handball shoes, these are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They lack the specific performance features and support required for competitive handball.

These shoes are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary. They generally offer a regular fit.

This refers to the method used to attach the outsole to the upper. 'Cold cement' typically uses adhesives applied at lower temperatures, which can sometimes result in a less flexible shoe compared to methods like vulcanization.

The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to waterproof them with an appropriate spray if you anticipate encountering moisture.

Gently clean the pattern with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the texture. A leather conditioner can help keep the leather supple.

The main body of the shoe is premium leather with an embossed croc pattern, providing a smooth, luxurious finish. The accents, such as the stripes and possibly parts of the trim, are made of suede, offering a softer, textured contrast.

No, you should never put these shoes in a washing machine. The materials, especially the leather and glued construction, can be severely damaged by machine washing and drying.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Walking around indoors can help speed up the process.

For minor scuffs on the leather, try using a specialized leather cleaner or a mild leather conditioner. For the embossed pattern, use a soft cloth and gentle pressure.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For more ingrained dirt, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud, debris, or oil. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and ensure it is dry.

Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. If they are significantly worn or frayed, they can be easily replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length.
