FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I use these for playing handball?
While originally designed for the sport, modern handball requires advanced technical features that these lifestyle versions lack. They are intended for casual wear.
How do I clean the gum sole?
You can clean the gum rubber outsole using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemicals that might bleach the rubber.
Is the material suede or leather?
This specific variant features a high-quality durable upper construction common to the Handball Spezial line.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width snug and might prefer to try a half-size up if available.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels tight at first.
These trainers are designed for a snug fit. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the materials to gently mold to the shape of your foot.
The suede/upper has light scuffs.
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently lift the nap of the material and buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh laundry detergents. Because these are often made with suede or synthetic upper materials, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after use. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place to protect the integrity of the gum rubber sole.
