Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, the COLD CEMENT construction means these shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, designed to be soft and provide cushioning and grip, reflecting the vintage design of the original handball shoes.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Adidas Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways. This specific guide pertains to the red model.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their condition.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean for the shoe?
This construction method generally results in a more flexible and lightweight shoe. It's suitable for casual wear but differs from methods used for performance athletic shoes designed for extreme durability and support.
Is the fit true to size?
These shoes are designed with a regular fit. Customers typically find them true to size, but individual foot shape can influence the feel. Please refer to Adidas sizing charts for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing them more loosely initially, then gradually tightening. If the issue persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If the noise is persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on leather or suede
Use a specialized leather cleaner or suede brush appropriate for the material. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
