Adidas Handball Spezial - Pink - Leather - UK 6.5

The adidas Handball Spezial is typically true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, ensuring there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

While originating from handball, these shoes are now designed primarily for casual and lifestyle wear. Their construction and flat sole are optimized for comfort and style in everyday settings, not for high-performance sports.

The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the material. A leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

Clean your leather shoes as needed, typically every few weeks or when they appear dirty. Regular wiping with a damp cloth and occasional conditioning will keep the leather supple and looking its best.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees helps maintain their original shape and prevent creases. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.

The Handball Spezial features a classic flat rubber sole, which offers minimal arch support compared to athletic shoes with specialized cushioning. If you require more arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for finished leather. Buff gently with a clean, soft cloth to restore luster and moisture.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a shoe specialist. Ensure you have the correct size.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. If the sole squeaks, it might be due to trapped moisture; allow them to air dry thoroughly.

Ensure the soles are clean from dirt or debris. If the grip has worn down significantly over time, it may indicate natural wear and tear. For minor issues, lightly scuffing the bottom of the sole on abrasive concrete can sometimes provide temporary additional grip.
