No, while the design has roots in handball, the current adidas Handball Spezial sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and street style. Their construction and materials are best suited for everyday fashion rather than high-performance athletic activities.
These sneakers are listed in UK women's sizing. We recommend referring to adidas' official size guide for precise measurements. If possible, trying them on is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit, as sizing can vary slightly between different styles. If you are between sizes, it is often advisable to size up for comfort.
No, machine washing is strongly not recommended for leather sneakers. It can severely damage the leather, compromise the adhesives, and distort the overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the specific cleaning instructions for leather as detailed in the 'Care' section of this guide.
For optimal comfort and to help manage moisture, it's best to wear socks made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials. Cotton socks are generally suitable for casual wear, but avoid very thick socks that might alter the fit or cause discomfort.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather as it wears. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct fit, use shoe trees when storing them to maintain their shape, and apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple. Avoiding excessive bending of your feet can also help reduce prominent creases.
Yes, the Silver Violet colorway is an integral part of the premium leather material. With proper care, protection from excessive scuffs, and avoidance of prolonged harsh conditions (like direct, intense sunlight), the color will maintain its vibrancy. Regular cleaning and conditioning are key to its longevity.
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles or insoles. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or where the sole contacts the upper. Ensure the laces are tied securely, as a loose fit can also cause friction-related noises.
Clean the leather thoroughly using a recommended leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This will help moisturize and restore its natural luster. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color.
Remove the insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda generously inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Using moisture-wicking socks, rotating between pairs of shoes, and allowing shoes to air out between wears can also help prevent odors.
