FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional handball matches?

While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activity. For professional matches, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary. The provided size is UK 6.5.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and glue, affecting the shoe's structure and appearance.

What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?

The Handball Spezial features a distinct gum sole and a retro silhouette rooted in vintage handball aesthetics, offering a unique blend of heritage and style compared to more modern trainer designs.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

Most users find the shoes comfortable after a few wears. The break-in period is generally short, allowing the materials to mold to the foot.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede, contributing to its classic look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider a half-size larger if the tightness persists after a short break-in period.

Suede material scuffing easily

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a suede eraser might be effective.

Traction feels reduced

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly worn soles, replacement might be necessary.

Discoloration on suede

Use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid washing the shoes.
