Product Information
Full details
The adidas Handball Spezial is an iconic trainer designed for individuals seeking a blend of timeless vintage style and everyday comfort. Featuring a durable leather construction and a supportive, low-profile silhouette, these sneakers are perfect for casual wear and urban commuting. While they offer excellent grip and classic aesthetics, users should note that the low-profile build provides less arch support than specialized high-performance athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the cushioning or impact support required for running.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they have a low-profile fit, those with wider feet may find them snug.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended not to wash these in a machine, as the heat and water can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole.
Are they made of genuine leather?
Yes, the product is constructed using durable leather materials for the upper.
Do they provide good grip on gym floors?
The rubber outsole is designed for excellent traction, making them stable on standard indoor surfaces like wood or composite gym floors.
How do I protect the leather from water?
Applying a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather can help protect the shoes from light rain and stains.
Troubleshooting
Leather becoming stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Squeaking on smooth floors
Ensure the outsole is free of debris. If the squeaking persists, wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth to remove buildup.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure bow; the flat laces provided can be replaced with textured laces if you prefer more friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. For tougher stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild leather-safe soap. Avoid immersing the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit. If you prefer to wear thicker athletic socks, you may consider if your normal size accommodates the extra bulk, as the silhouette is quite streamlined.
