FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to UK sizing standards, though personal preference for toe-box room may vary.

Can I use these for sports?

While originally designed for indoor sports, they are currently intended primarily for lifestyle and fashion use.

How do I maintain the black colour?

Keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals and direct heat, and use a colour-appropriate suede or leather restorer if needed.

Are they unisex?

The Handball Spezial series is often worn by all genders, though this specific unit is categorized for male sizing.

Is this a limited edition series?

The Handball Spezial is a core heritage series for adidas Originals, known for its consistent production of classic styles.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for classic leather/suede footwear; using shoe trees after wear can help maintain the shape.

Difficulty cleaning surface stains

Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for sneakers to lift dirt without damaging the material surface.

Slippage or poor heel grip

Ensure the shoes are laced through the top eyelet to secure the heel, or consider a slim insole if the fit is slightly loose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, retro design suitable for various fashion styles
  • Robust construction for long-term daily wear
  • Understated colour scheme that is easy to style
  • Lightweight feel perfect for walking

Cons

  • Specific sizing (UK 5) limits availability for different foot sizes
  • Requires proper care to maintain original finish
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated high-performance sports shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the materials.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
  3. Protection: Apply a protective suede or leather spray if applicable to guard against light rain and spills.
  4. Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to avoid excess friction and premature wear on the eyelets.
  5. Fit Check: Ensure you are using the correct UK size 5 for your feet to prevent unnecessary stress on the shoe's internal structure.
