FAQs

What is the Handball Spezial known for?

The Handball Spezial is renowned for its iconic, retro design, premium leather construction, and versatile style that bridges sportswear and casual fashion.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While inspired by handball, these shoes are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for the demands of competitive athletic performance.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

It is recommended to consult the official adidas sizing chart available online, which provides measurements to help you find the best fit based on your foot length. Trying them on in person is also ideal if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is advisable to use a water-repellent spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the material.

What is the difference between this model and other Spezial variants?

Different variants may feature variations in materials (e.g., suede vs. leather), colorways, and minor design elements. This specific model features an oiled brown leather upper with white accents.

How should I store my Handball Spezial trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of rubber, designed to provide lightweight grip and durability for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to the adidas sizing guide and compare with your existing footwear. Consider trying a half-size up or down if possible, as fit can vary.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural leather will crease with wear. Ensure proper fit to minimize unwanted stress points. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. The grip is optimized for typical urban and indoor surfaces; performance may vary on highly polished or wet surfaces.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners to maintain color and finish. Test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Suede Care: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe, use a suede brush to clean and restore the nap. Avoid using water on suede.
  • Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in wet conditions.
