FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball heritage, these trainers are best suited for casual wear. For serious athletic performance, specialized sports shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to consult the adidas Originals sizing guide available online. Many find it helpful to measure their foot length and compare it to the chart, or try them on in person if possible, as sizing can vary.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe. Cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products is advised.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of these Handball Spezial trainers is primarily made of leather.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag protects them from dust and damage.
What does 'Spezial' mean in the product name?
'Spezial' (Special) typically refers to a line of adidas shoes that often draws from archival designs or offers a more premium, heritage-focused aesthetic.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the grey model, but other options may exist within the broader product line.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying on a pair in-store or consulting reviews for fit feedback. Some users find they run slightly narrow or long.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.
Soles showing wear
For light wear, consider a rubber sole protector. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement, though this may affect the shoe's original construction.
Discoloration on leather
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Protectants can help prevent future staining.
