FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial Bold series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer good grip for everyday activities but may lack the specific support and cushioning needed for professional sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. Trying them on in-store or ensuring the retailer has a good return policy for online purchases is also advisable, especially since this model is UK 3.5.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand-wash with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.
What is the main difference between 'Bold' and standard Handball Spezial models?
The 'Bold' designation often refers to updated design elements, such as exaggerated soles or distinct color blocking, aiming for a more modern and fashion-forward look compared to the original, classic Handball Spezial silhouette.
How durable is the gum sole?
The gum sole is designed for durability and provides excellent traction. With proper care, it should hold up well for regular casual wear.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
These sneakers offer standard cushioning and support typical for casual footwear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for orthopedic needs.
What material are the upper panels typically made of?
The upper panels of the Handball Spezial Bold often feature a combination of leather and suede, providing both durability and a premium aesthetic. Specific material composition can vary by release.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. You can often find replacement laces from athletic footwear brands or specialty stores.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This is more common with new, darker colored shoes, especially in humid conditions. It usually diminishes with wear. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.
Gum sole scuff marks
Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be removed with a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of baking soda paste. Be gentle to avoid damaging the sole.
