FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle/casual shoe and lacks the advanced shock absorption required for running.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas adult footwear.
Can I use these for indoor sports?
While they are inspired by handball, they are primarily marketed as lifestyle trainers; for competitive indoor sports, we recommend dedicated performance court shoes.
What material is the upper made of?
The product features durable construction, typically utilizing a mix of high-quality leather and synthetic overlays depending on the specific batch.
How do I maintain the black and grey colours?
Use a colour-safe water repellent spray to protect against stains and prevent the colours from fading due to water exposure.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with leather/suede footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Surface scuffs on the upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a damp cloth with mild soap for leather to gently buff out marks.
Slipping at the heel
Ensure the laces are securely fastened through the top eyelet to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface. If you are dealing with leather or suede sections, use products specifically designed for those materials to avoid discolouration. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds and material integrity. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK adult size to guarantee the intended fit.
