FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Adidas Handball Spezial features a standard, regular fit. We recommend purchasing your normal sneaker size.

Can I wear these for running?

No, these are fashion trainers based on a 1979 design. They lack the technical cushioning and stability needed for running.

What is the material of the upper?

This specific model is crafted from high-quality leather.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

A damp cloth with mild detergent works well. You can scrub gently with an old toothbrush for textured areas.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The regular fit accommodates most foot shapes, though the leather will soften and conform to your foot slightly over time.

Can the insoles be removed?

The trainers feature a standard synthetic sockliner; if you require custom orthotics, ensure they are thin enough to fit within the shoe volume.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows light scuffs

Use a leather-safe eraser or a matching color leather conditioner to buff out superficial markings.

Laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the tension through the eyelet rows; the secure lace closure allows for personalized compression across the midfoot.

Sole has picked up debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt trapped in the rubber outsole tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather.
  2. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees helps maintain the original shape of the trainers.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex trainers fitting true to size for a regular fit. The classic design complements a variety of wardrobes, from retro-inspired looks to modern minimalist outfits.
