Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial is a versatile, low-profile trainer designed for adults who value a blend of athletic heritage and modern casual style. Its premium leather construction and classic gum rubber outsole offer a sophisticated, timeless look perfect for daily wear; however, because of its low-profile court-inspired design, it may provide less arch support and cushioning than dedicated performance running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for athletic running or high-impact sports.

How do I know which size to pick?

The trainers follow standard adult sizing. If you have worn adidas Originals products before, it is recommended to stick with your usual size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly advised against. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, providing a structured yet soft fit.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The shoe has a flat, low-profile design. If you require significant arch support, it is recommended to use your own orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuff marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a small amount of non-abrasive leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs.

Gum sole losing traction

Check the sole for debris trapped in the tread patterns. Clean the bottom with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for a textured lace style that provides more friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather upper and a damp cloth for deeper spots. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
  2. Gum Sole Care: Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to scrub the gum rubber sole if discoloration occurs.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discoloration.
  4. Weather Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
  5. Fit: These shoes feature a regular fit. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to try both sizes to determine which accommodates your foot width best.
