FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use and do not contain the specialized cushioning or support required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the exterior?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Handball Spezial features a standard insole. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to replace the factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert.
Are these true to size?
Yes, most users find that the adidas Originals Handball Spezial fits true to their standard adult size.
Can I wear these for actual handball?
While the design is inspired by handball heritage, modern court sports require specialized performance gear. These are intended for fashion and everyday activity.
Is the material waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain the quality of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are fed through the eyelets properly to maintain tension.
Build up of dirt in the tread pattern
Use a small brush or a toothpick to carefully remove debris caught in the rubber tread to restore optimal grip.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for low-profile trainers; use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: The lace-up system allows you to adjust the tension across the midfoot. Ensure the laces are tightened sufficiently to hold the heel in place but loose enough to prevent pressure points.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the material colors over time.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, gently dab the area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though if you prefer to wear thick sports socks, consider if you need extra room in the toe box.
