FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial is a unisex model designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

The shoes offer standard casual support suitable for daily activities, but they do not feature specialized orthotic-grade arch reinforcement.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing. We recommend checking your UK size against your current comfortable trainers.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the leather upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a leather protectant spray to increase water resistance.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are generally fixed, but some users may be able to replace them with slim custom orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce severe creasing.

Dirt stuck in the gum sole tread

Use a toothpick or a firm brush to dislodge small stones or debris from the gum sole pattern to maintain optimal traction.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure your laces are properly tightened and consider using a double knot if the round laces feel loose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless retro design suitable for various casual outfits
  • High-quality leather construction for longevity
  • Excellent traction provided by the gum rubber outsole
  • Comfortable fit for everyday wear due to padded collar

Cons

  • Light beige colour requires careful maintenance to avoid staining
  • Leather material is not inherently waterproof
  • Sole thickness may feel different compared to modern performance running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best out of your Handball Spezial trainers, begin by loosening the laces fully before inserting your foot to prevent strain on the heel counter. These trainers generally fit true to size, but the leather may require a brief break-in period to contour perfectly to your foot shape.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For marks on the leather, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth using mild soap.
  • Maintenance: Apply a leather-specific protector spray before your first use to help repel water and dirt.
  • Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the colours from fading.
  • Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Never place leather footwear on or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the material to crack.
