FAQs

Are these adidas Handball Spezial shoes suitable for playing sports?

While the 'Handball Spezial' name reflects its athletic heritage, this specific model in pink leather is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It's intended for casual wear and everyday style, not for performance-oriented sports activities.

How do I maintain the vibrant pink color of the leather?

To maintain the vibrant pink leather, regularly clean it with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to keep it supple. Applying a leather protector spray can also help guard against stains and UV damage, which can cause fading. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

What is the typical fit like for these shoes?

These shoes generally fit true to size for casual wear. As they feature a premium leather upper, they may feel slightly snug initially but will gradually mold to your feet over time, providing a comfortable, personalized fit.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-resistant leather protector spray for added defense against the elements and avoiding heavy rain to protect the material and maintain their appearance.

How durable is the leather upper on these shoes?

The premium leather upper is designed for durability and resilience, suitable for regular casual wear. With proper care and maintenance, these shoes are built to maintain their quality and aesthetic appeal for a significant period.

Is the UK 11 the only size available for this model?

This product specifically refers to a UK 11 size. However, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial line is typically available in a wide range of adult sizes. Please check other product listings for different available sizes.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or scuffed

Clean the shoes with a suitable leather cleaner to remove dirt, then apply a leather conditioner or polish designed for your shoe's color to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear your shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to the unique shape of your feet, which will improve comfort over time.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often, squeaking is caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insoles.

Color fading or unevenness on the leather

Protect your shoes from prolonged direct sunlight exposure, which can cause fading. Regular conditioning can help maintain color richness. If fading is significant, specialized leather dyes or professional shoe care may be necessary.

Care

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it with a soft brush or cloth according to the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Conditioning: To keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracks, apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. This helps maintain the leather's natural oils and sheen.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. This adds an extra layer of defense against the elements.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage leather.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help preserve their shape and absorb residual moisture when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
