FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may have a slight break-in period to match your foot shape.
Can I use these for playing competitive handball?
While they feature the handball heritage name, they are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers; for competitive sports, consider modern shoes with specialized court-performance technology.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
A soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water is usually sufficient to remove grime from the textured rubber sole.
Is the leather water-resistant?
The leather is durable, but not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain and treat the leather with a protective spray if you anticipate damp conditions.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The classic low-profile fit is relatively standard, but the leather material has a slight amount of natural give over time to accommodate various widths.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish matched to the black finish to restore the sheen.
Laces consistently coming untied.
Consider switching to a double-knot technique or replacing laces with a slightly textured flat lace for better friction.
Inner lining feeling worn.
Use moisture-absorbing inserts after use to prevent sweat buildup which can degrade the internal padding over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: Periodically use a leather conditioner to maintain material suppleness.
- Compatibility: These shoes feature a standard lace-up design, making them compatible with various foot widths via lacing adjustments. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the leather and bonded sole components.
