FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial shoes are generally considered true to size with a regular fit. You should order your usual shoe size.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and using a leather protector spray for added resistance if you anticipate wet conditions.

How do I clean the orange leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it according to the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or running?

No, while they originated as an indoor handball shoe, the modern adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a streetwear fashion item. They are best suited for casual everyday wear and not recommended for performance sports or running.

What is the material of the shoe's lining?

The shoes feature a smooth leather lining, which contributes to their overall comfort and premium feel.

How can I prevent my shoes from creasing?

To minimize creasing, ensure you have the correct fit. You can also use shoe trees when storing them to help maintain their original shape and fill out the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs or scratches on the leather upper

For light scuffs, use a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream. Gently buff the affected area. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be needed.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. A shoe stretcher can also help alleviate pressure points.

Stains on the leather are difficult to remove

Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as this can damage the leather. Try a dedicated leather stain remover, following the product instructions carefully. For persistent or oil-based stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Slippery feeling on wet surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. While the rubber outsole provides good general traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution.

Care Instructions

To ensure your leather adidas Handball Spezial shoes remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes.
  2. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
  4. Protecting: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in various weather conditions.
  5. Cleaning the Outsole: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the rubber outsole. A soft brush can help remove dirt from grooves.
  6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
