No, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While it draws inspiration from handball shoes, it is not intended for sports performance or vigorous physical activity.
These shoes generally run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. If you are unsure, you can refer to an adidas size chart for precise measurements.
The shoes are not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or moisture can damage the suede and leather materials. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray for protection and avoiding wet conditions when possible.
For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then condition. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat. A protective spray is highly recommended.
The Handball Spezial features a standard footbed and a regular fit, offering basic comfort and support suitable for casual wear. It does not include specialized arch support features. For specific arch support needs, custom insoles might be considered.
Yes, the gum rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday casual use. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting wear under normal conditions.
Use a specialized suede brush to revive the nap. For stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For tougher marks, a small amount of white vinegar on a cloth can be dabbed carefully, then brushed after drying.
Ensure laces are not overtightened. The leather and suede may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, check if the size is appropriate or consider different sock thickness.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing to restore maximum grip.
For light leather scuffs, try rubbing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs or suede marks, a professional shoe repair service might be needed. Prevention with protective sprays is key.
Using your Handball Spezial sneakers is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Adjust the lacing tension according to your preference for optimal comfort throughout the day.
These sneakers boast a highly versatile design, making them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair exceptionally well with:
