FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adidas sizing for adults.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesive components of the shoe.

What is the primary material of the upper?

This specific variant features a high-quality leather upper.

How do I maintain the gold lettering?

Avoid scrubbing the area where the 'Spezial' lettering is printed to prevent fading or rubbing off the foil.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, this specific model is categorized as unisex.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface getting scuffed

Use a white leather polish or specialized sneaker eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Creasing at the toe box

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Like most leather footwear, wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner for the upper. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the structural integrity of the leather and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adidas sizing, though the low-profile design may feel more snug than bulky running shoes.
