FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball professionally?

The Handball Spezial are inspired by archival handball shoes but are generally recommended for casual wear and light athletic activities rather than professional, high-impact play. Their classic design offers good grip and support for recreational use.

How do I clean the brown leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color is Preloved Brown, with secondary accents of Orange Tint and a Gum sole.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What does 'Preloved Brown' mean in the color description?

'Preloved Brown' refers to the specific shade and finish of the brown color, intended to evoke a vintage or well-worn aesthetic, rather than indicating the shoes have been previously worn.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can vary between models and brands. It is recommended to consult the size chart provided by the retailer and consider reviews regarding fit, as some users may find them to run slightly larger or smaller.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of gum rubber, which provides excellent traction and a classic retro look.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather upon arrival

The leather may feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Avoid using excessive conditioning products that could oversaturate the material.

Gum sole appears to be scuffing easily

Gum rubber is known for its grip but can show marks more readily than darker rubber. Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner. This is normal wear and tear for this material.

Discoloration from display or lighting

Product images are representative. Slight variations in color are possible due to display settings and lighting. If the color is significantly different than expected, review the product description and contact the seller for clarification.

Squeaking noise during wear

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between the outsole and the ground. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic retro design with a rich history.
  • Durable construction with quality leather materials.
  • Comfortable for daily wear and light activities.
  • Versatile styling options due to the classic silhouette and color scheme.
  • Excellent grip and stability from the gum rubber outsole.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The vintage aesthetic might not appeal to all fashion preferences.
  • Limited breathability compared to modern mesh athletic shoes.
  • Water resistance is not a primary feature; best avoided in wet conditions.
  • Sizing may vary, so checking fit is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and sportswear. Their sizing is based on standard UK adult foot sizes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  • Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
