FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity gym sessions?

While they are based on handball designs, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use. They lack the technical support required for intense gym workouts.

How does the sizing run?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may find the low-profile fit snug and might consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean by hand.

Is the leather upper genuine?

Yes, these trainers feature a premium leather construction for durability and comfort.

Do these shoes provide good grip?

The rubber outsole is designed for reliable traction on standard indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial is designed as a unisex product, fitting both men and women based on the UK size provided.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double-knot or upgrading to higher-friction laces if necessary.

Creasing on the leather upper

This is natural for high-quality leather; use shoe trees when not worn to help maintain the original shape.

Minor dirt on the outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with warm, soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile retro design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • High-quality leather construction for long-term wear
  • Durable rubber outsole provides consistent grip
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended periods of walking

Cons

  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials
  • Limited arch support compared to modern technical running shoes
  • Low-profile silhouette may not suit those needing heavy ankle support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialist leather cleaner if necessary to remove scuffs.
  2. Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the color integrity of the animal print pattern.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex trainers, sizing is indicated in UK adult measurements.
