FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual wear and walking, not for running or high-impact athletic activity.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. If stains appear, use a gentle detergent or dedicated trainer cleaner on a soft cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas Originals sizing, but individual fit can vary based on foot width.
Can I use custom insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles can often be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or higher-arch inserts.
What materials are used in the construction?
The Handball Spezial typically uses a combination of premium synthetic or leather upper materials paired with a durable rubber gum outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be more relaxed, or use a thinner sock to increase internal volume.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for classic leather/suede sneakers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their shape and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair best with casual trousers, slim-fit denim, or sportswear-inspired joggers.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner safe for suede or synthetic overlays. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the red and blue pigments.
