FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Handball Spezial shoes?

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering a blend of vintage athletic style and everyday comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, these are intended for lifestyle use. They are not designed or recommended for competitive or high-intensity handball play.

How do I clean the leather upper with the croc pattern?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more persistent dirt, a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for embossed leather can be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

These shoes pair well with most casual socks, including athletic-style socks, no-show socks, or classic crew socks, depending on your personal style and comfort.

How durable is the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and grip, providing long-lasting wear for casual use. It's designed to withstand regular walking and daily activities.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?

This refers to the method used to attach the outsole to the upper. Cold cement construction is a process that uses adhesives at lower temperatures, often contributing to flexibility and comfort in the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears creased or scuffed

Minor creases can sometimes be reduced by conditioning the leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a cream polish matching the shoe color.

Gum sole is dirty

Use a damp cloth and a soft brush with mild soap to clean the gum rubber outsole. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially

The leather upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.

Care:

  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Do not machine wash.
