FAQs

What is ADIPRENE®?

ADIPRENE® is a cushioning material used by adidas in the forefoot and heel to provide shock absorption and protect the joints.

Are these suitable for playing handball?

While named 'Handball Spezial', they are primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker inspired by vintage handball shoes. They offer good grip but may not provide the specialized support for competitive play.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and ensure your UK size aligns. This specific model is listed as UK 13.5.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The shoes can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Applying a protective spray can improve water resistance.

What are the primary materials used?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with synthetic elements for branding and support. The midsole is EVA, and the outsole is rubber.

How does the padding around the collar help?

The padded collar is designed to offer a more comfortable fit around the ankle and prevent chafing.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Handball Spezial model comes in various colorways and material combinations, including grey and beige options, often with suede or leather uppers.

Troubleshooting

Laces become worn or damaged

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Many sporting goods stores offer replacements.

Sole shows signs of wear

While the rubber outsole is durable, prolonged heavy use may lead to wear. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear impacts grip or comfort.

Discoloration on leather or suede

Address stains immediately with appropriate cleaning methods for leather and suede. Use a specialized cleaner if necessary.

Care:
