FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

The Handball Spezial are inspired by handball shoes but are primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. They offer good grip but may not provide the specific support and cushioning needed for competitive handball.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on most reputable footwear retailers' websites. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart provided for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and sole.

What is the difference between the "Off White Black Gum" and other Handball Spezial models?

The primary differences usually lie in the colorway and materials used. The "Off White Black Gum" specifically refers to the off-white leather upper, black accents, and gum rubber outsole.

How should I store my Handball Spezial trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Is the leather upper real leather?

Yes, the product description indicates the material is leather, providing durability and a premium feel.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more hours or apply a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe.

Leather creasing

Leather naturally creases with wear. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Gum sole discoloration

The gum sole can discolor over time due to exposure to certain chemicals or prolonged sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and store away from direct light.

Laces coming undone

Ensure laces are tied securely. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones for better grip.
