Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is a versatile unisex trainer designed for adults who value a blend of 1970s indoor sports heritage and modern everyday style. Featuring a distinct animal-pattern leather construction in a neutral beige, these shoes offer reliable durability and comfort for daily wear. While they provide excellent grip on urban surfaces, their low-profile build is best suited for casual walking rather than high-impact athletic training.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to UK sizing standards for an adult unisex fit.

Can I use these for running?

These are lifestyle trainers based on indoor sports shoes; they do not have the cushioning or stability required for long-distance running.

How do I clean the animal pattern leather?

Use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to spot clean. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim, but the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment in width across the midfoot.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from genuine leather with an animal-inspired pattern.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a secure double knot or a runner's loop if the standard bow does not hold.

Outer sole picking up small debris

Use a soft brush or a blunt tool to gently clear the tread patterns after walking in gravel or outdoor trails.

Leather looks dull

Apply a small amount of leather-appropriate cream or conditioner to restore the natural shine and protect the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile and stylish retro aesthetic
  • Durable high-quality leather upper
  • Excellent traction on indoor and urban surfaces
  • Unisex design suitable for all genders
  • Comfortable lining suitable for extended daily wear

Cons

  • Animal pattern may not appeal to all minimalist style preferences
  • Low-profile silhouette offers less arch support than dedicated running shoes
  • Leather material requires specific cleaning care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you adjust the laces to accommodate your foot width during your first wear. To maintain the leather upper and the animal pattern, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it down gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Using a leather conditioner occasionally will help keep the material supple and prevent cracking over time.
