FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the adidas Handball Spezial?
The adidas Handball Spezial is primarily designed as a versatile lifestyle sneaker, offering a blend of retro style and comfort suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities.
Are these shoes suitable for professional handball players?
While they offer good grip and support, they are generally considered a lifestyle or casual sports shoe. Professional handball players might require footwear with more specialized performance features and ankle support.
How do I clean the suede and leather parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for the suede and a damp cloth for the leather. For stains, use a specialized cleaner suitable for both materials or a very mild soap and water solution, applied gently.
What is the main difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?
Variations typically lie in colorways, material accents, and minor construction details. The core design and performance characteristics remain consistent across most Handball Spezial models.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The shoes are not waterproof. While they offer decent grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended as it can affect the materials and grip.
What does 'Chalk White and Collegiate Green' refer to?
This describes the primary color scheme: 'Chalk White' is the main body color, 'Collegiate Green' is used for the iconic three stripes and other accents, and 'Night Indigo' may be present as a further detail.
What is the typical fit of the Handball Spezial?
The Handball Spezial generally offers a standard fit. It's recommended to refer to adidas sizing charts for the most accurate fit, especially when ordering online.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Soles appear slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. The grip may vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces; this is normal for rubber outsoles.
Color transfer from the green accents
This is rare, but if it occurs, try cleaning the affected area gently with a specialized suede cleaner or a mild soap solution. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when the shoes are new and damp.
