FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial features a regular fit, which generally aligns with standard adult UK sizing for adidas Originals footwear.
Can I use these for indoor sports?
While originally designed for handball, modern iterations are intended for lifestyle use and do not offer the support needed for competitive sports.
How do I clean the gum rubber soles?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild dish soap to scrub away debris.
What material is the upper made of?
The trainers are constructed with high-quality leather.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sock liner is generally removable, allowing for cleaning or the use of custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The trainers have a regular fit. Those with wider feet may find the slim profile snug and might want to consider sizing up slightly.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather surface
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and leather-safe cleaner if necessary.
Creasing in the toe box
This is normal for high-quality leather; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.
Gum outsole losing grip

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers maintain their vintage look, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given the leather construction, it is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray before initial wear to guard against stains. For cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild brush to clear debris from the gum outsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can compromise the adhesive bonds and leather texture.
