Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are an iconic choice for active kids who want a blend of retro '70s style and everyday comfort. Featuring a durable leather construction and a signature gum rubber sole, these trainers offer reliable grip for school days or weekend play, though the classic low-profile design provides minimal arch support compared to dedicated performance athletic shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Handball Spezial has a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to loosen the lacing significantly or consider a half-size larger.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the glue bonds in the sole. Always clean them by hand.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from durable leather, while the outsole is made from gum rubber.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK children's sizing. We recommend checking the size guide for specific measurements.

Are these indoor or outdoor shoes?

While modeled after indoor court shoes, they are designed for versatile, everyday street wear.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or replace them with a slightly textured pair for better friction.

Leather looks dull after repeated wear

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for footwear to restore suppleness and shine.

Difficulty putting on the shoes

Loosen the laces all the way down to the toe box to allow for wider entry, then tighten gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for the Handball Spezial; ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the child's foot width without pulling the eyelets too close together. For maintenance, keep the leather clean by wiping away mud or dirt with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use to prevent staining. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the leather. For the rubber soles, a soft-bristled brush can be used to dislodge any debris from the tread pattern.
