FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard adult adidas sizing.
Can these be used for heavy gym training?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While durable, they lack the stability and cushioning required for high-intensity gym workouts.
How do I clean the translucent rubber sole?
A mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft-bristled toothbrush is effective for cleaning the rubber outsoles.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage or staining.
What is the material composition?
The upper is constructed from premium leather with suede accents, and the base features a durable rubber compound.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff out marks.
Suede accents becoming matted or dirty
Use a dry, stiff-bristled brush to gently groom the suede in one direction to restore its texture.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees when not wearing can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit consistent with adidas sizing. To ensure they remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt from the green accents without damaging the nap.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use can help preserve the white finish.
- Storage: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or intense heat, as this may affect the rubber sole integrity or fade the leather dyes.
