Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are an iconic low-profile silhouette designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and everyday comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball players in 1979, these trainers provide excellent durability through their high-quality leather upper and grippy rubber outsole, making them a reliable choice for casual wear. While the shoes offer a secure and stylish fit, users should note that the low-profile design lacks the intense arch support found in modern high-performance athletic running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on a 1979 indoor sports model and does not have the cushioning required for distance running.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, yes. They follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may offer a slightly snugger fit that softens with wear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to use a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can ruin the leather and adhesives.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, which provides a premium look and increased durability.

Are these shoes unisex?

While the sizing is listed in adult UK increments, the Handball Spezial series is generally worn by all genders depending on the preferred fit and size availability.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or light dirt

Gently clean the affected area with a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Laces feel loose after short periods of walking

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied with a double knot if necessary to secure the tension.

Discoloration or fading on the upper

Keep the shoes out of direct, intense sunlight for extended periods and store them in a shaded area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, versatile aesthetic that pairs with various outfits
  • High-quality leather materials ensure long-term durability
  • Excellent grip provided by the textured rubber outsole
  • Breathable textile lining enhances comfort for all-day wear

Cons

  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated performance footwear
  • Leather material requires specific cleaning techniques to maintain appearance
  • Low-profile silhouette may not suit those needing substantial heel cushioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. As these feature a leather upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and structural integrity of the shoe. Instead, wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading. Before your first wear, you may apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against accidental spills and light rain. Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the lace-up closure allows for a customized fit to your specific foot width.
