FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is inspired by original handball shoes from 1979, its current iteration is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. For high-performance sports activities, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes feature a 'regular fit'. We generally recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, or prefer a looser fit, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.

What materials are used in the shoe's construction?

The upper is constructed from a durable leather with suede accents, providing both classic style and resilience. The lining is synthetic, and the outsole is made of gum rubber.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, gum rubber, and other materials. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods to preserve your shoes.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial offers standard arch support typical for a casual sneaker. For individuals requiring specific or enhanced arch support, you may consider adding custom or specialized insoles.

How durable is the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is designed for durability and excellent traction under normal casual wear conditions. Its lifespan will depend on factors such as usage frequency, walking surfaces, and care.

What is a 'regular fit'?

A 'regular fit' refers to a standard shoe width and volume designed to accommodate most foot types comfortably. It is neither particularly narrow nor wide, providing a balanced feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not overtightened. The leather and suede upper may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, double-check that you have the correct size for your feet.

Soles losing grip or becoming slippery

Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. If the problem continues, inspect the sole for excessive wear.

Leather or suede upper appears dull or stained

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaning service. Applying a leather conditioner periodically can help maintain the material's suppleness and appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless retro aesthetic and classic design
  • Durable leather and suede construction for longevity
  • Comfortable for daily wear and extended periods
  • Excellent grip from the gum rubber outsole
  • Versatile for various casual and street-style outfits

Cons

  • Style may not suit all contemporary fashion tastes
  • Leather and suede materials require specific care and cleaning
  • Offers standard cushioning, not designed for high-impact athletic performance
  • Regular fit might not be ideal for exceptionally wide feet
  • Gum rubber outsole can show dirt more easily than darker soles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unlacing: Loosen the laces to create enough space to comfortably insert your foot.
  2. Fitting: Gently slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated correctly.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit across your foot.
  4. Tying: Securely tie the laces.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adults and feature a 'regular fit' (UK 11 for this specific model). They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including denim, chinos, shorts, and sportswear-inspired outfits, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Leather/Suede Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth for the leather sections and a specialized suede brush or cleaner for the suede areas. Gently wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the materials.
  • Cleaning the Gum Rubber Outsole: A soft brush and mild soap and water can be used to clean the outsole. Scrub gently to remove dirt and restore grip.
  • Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as these can cause the leather and suede to crack, warp, or fade.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
