FAQs
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial true to size?
Most users find that these trainers fit true to size. If you prefer a slightly roomier feel, consider going up half a size.
Can I use these for running?
While they provide great grip, they are designed for casual wear and court-style activities, not as dedicated long-distance running shoes.
How do I protect the light-coloured leather?
Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray before your first wear to repel water and stains.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed for adults, the design is highly versatile and suitable for anyone who appreciates the classic silhouette, provided the size conversion is correct.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue and materials from degrading.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with real leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Surface stains on the suede toe
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff away dry dirt; avoid using water on suede.
Slipping laces
Replace standard laces with textured athletic laces if the factory laces do not hold a knot securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since these shoes feature leather and suede components, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the suede toe area. For the leather panels, wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Because they feature a classic lace-up design, ensure the tongue is centered and laces are tightened evenly to maintain the structural integrity of the shoe's midfoot.
