FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports or intense activities?

While the Handball Spezial originated as an indoor sports shoe, the modern iteration is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. They offer comfort for everyday use but are not recommended for high-performance sports due to their classic construction.

How do I determine my correct size?

These shoes are a standard UK 6.5. We recommend referring to the adidas official sizing chart for precise measurements. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit; the regular fit often accommodates a slightly wider foot.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

The leather upper provides some resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. For better protection, consider applying a leather waterproofing spray.

What is the best way to clean the orange leather?

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for colored leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials.

Do the shoes come with a warranty?

Is the synthetic lining removable?

The synthetic lining is typically sewn in and not designed to be easily removed. This ensures a consistent snug fit and helps maintain the shoe's structure.

Are these shoes ethically sourced?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. If still uncomfortable, re-check your size against adidas's sizing guide; shoe size UK 6.5 should be a regular fit.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper conditioning and shine, use a quality leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific leather type. Small scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and leather cream.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. Alternatively, check if the laces are too tight or loose.

Gum sole losing traction.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing grip. A soft brush and mild soap with water can be effective. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your leather adidas Handball Spezial shoes will ensure their longevity and appearance:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: For dirt and dust, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protecting Leather: Consider applying a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
  • Outsole Care: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or washing machines, as these can damage the leather and synthetic lining.
