FAQs
What are the primary materials used in the Japan Handball Spezial shoes?
These shoes typically combine suede with other materials like leather or synthetic overlays for durability and style. The specific colorway Core Black/Glow Blue/Off White indicates the prominent colors used.
Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by handball shoes, the Japan Handball Spezial series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the specific performance features required for competitive handball.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Many users find that adidas shoes fit true to size, but slight variations can occur. This guide pertains to a UK size 6.5.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially due to the suede material, which can be damaged by water.
What is the difference between the Spezial and Handball Spezial lines?
The Spezial line generally refers to a broader range of classic adidas shoes, often inspired by various sports. The Handball Spezial specifically draws inspiration from vintage handball court shoes, often featuring a suede upper and a gum sole.
How should I clean the Glow Blue accents?
For the Glow Blue accents, if they are made of synthetic material, a slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh cleaners that could affect the color. For suede areas, always use specialized suede cleaning methods.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the adidas Originals Japan Handball Spezial series is available in various colorways and sizes. This guide specifically focuses on the Core Black/Glow Blue/Off White, UK size 6.5 variant (MPN: HP3675).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged strenuous activity until they feel comfortable.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a soft brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully, ensuring proper ventilation.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists, consider a non-slip sole treatment or consult a shoe repair professional. Note that new soles may have a slicker finish initially.
Discomfort in arch or heel
Check if the shoe size is correct. If the fit is otherwise good, consider using an aftermarket insole or orthotic for additional support. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
