FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional handball play?

Yes, the Handball Spezial were originally designed for handball and offer good grip and support suitable for the sport, though modern specialized shoes may offer advanced features.

How do I clean the gum sole?

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt or scuffs, a mild soap and water solution or a magic eraser can be used cautiously.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather, offering durability and a classic look.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, adidas Handball Spezial trainers are considered to run true to size for most wearers. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific sizing feedback if available.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather can offer some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and ensure comfort.

What is the main difference between this reissue and the original?

This reissue aims to stay true to the original design and materials, offering a faithful representation of the classic handball shoe. Minor variations in manufacturing or materials may occur over time.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Gum sole appears dirty or marked.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully on the sole, but test in a small area first.

Leather upper shows signs of wear.

Clean the leather gently with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or balm can help to restore appearance. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Compatibility is broad, fitting well with casual streetwear, athletic apparel, and athleisure outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the leather upper.
  4. Sole Care: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the sole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth.
