Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetic and modern comfort for daily wear. These trainers excel at providing all-day cushioning through integrated ADIPRENE technology, making them ideal for urban walking or casual environments. A notable caveat is that while the leather construction is durable and stylish, the low-profile design may offer less ankle support than high-top alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact sports?
While they feature cushioning technology, they are designed as casual fashion trainers and are not intended for high-impact athletic training.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The Adidas Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may find the low-profile fit feels slightly snug.
How do I maintain the gold foil logo?
Avoid scrubbing the area where the 'Spezial' lettering is printed to ensure the gold foil remains intact.
Can I use these in rainy weather?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
What is the primary benefit of ADIPRENE?
ADIPRENE is an impact-absorbing material that reduces stress on the joints, providing superior cushioning compared to standard foam midsoles.
Troubleshooting
Leather becoming stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Reduced grip on smooth floors
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that may hinder traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the Handball Spezial is ready for immediate use. For optimal longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surface. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-specific waterproofing spray to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
- Laces: Regularly check the lace eyelets for wear, and replace laces if they show signs of fraying to maintain the classic aesthetic.
