Product Information

Full details

Designed for individuals seeking a blend of vintage sports aesthetics and modern comfort, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are an ideal choice for casual daily wear. Inspired by the 1979 elite handball shoe, this model delivers iconic style and reliable support through its high-quality leather construction and internal cushioning. While these trainers excel in style and versatility, potential buyers should note that the low-profile gum sole design provides minimal arch support, which may require aftermarket insoles for long-term standing or walking.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel slightly snug when new.

Can I use these for indoor handball?

While originally designed as an elite handball shoe in 1979, modern performance footwear is recommended for competitive sports.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth regularly. For deep cleaning, use leather-specific products.

Is the OrthoLite liner removable?

Yes, the liner is typically removable if you wish to swap it for a custom orthotic insole.

Will the gum sole mark floors?

The gum rubber is designed to be non-marking, making it suitable for most indoor surfaces.

Are there other materials available?

Yes, other variants of the Handball Spezial series are available in suede finishes.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface showing scuffs

Use a leather conditioner or a color-matched polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.

Trainers feel too stiff

Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.

Accumulation of dirt on gum sole

Use a soft brush and a mild soapy water solution to scrub the edges of the gum sole, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic 1979 heritage design
  • High-quality leather material for durability
  • OrthoLite liner offers excellent internal comfort
  • Versatile colorway suitable for various outfits
  • Classic gum rubber outsole for traction

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for all-day wear
  • Leather requires careful cleaning to maintain finish
  • Low-profile sole is not suitable for high-impact sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Upon receiving your trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension. Because the shoe is made of leather, it may feel snug initially but will naturally conform to the shape of your foot over the first few wears.

Compatibility: This model is a standard adult male fit in UK size 7.5. It works best with casual clothing; the neutral Beige and Brown tones allow for high versatility across your existing wardrobe.

Care: To preserve the longevity of your trainers, avoid machine washing. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt immediately after wearing. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
