FAQs

What is the main purpose of the adidas Handball Spezial?

The adidas Handball Spezial was originally designed for handball but is now primarily worn as a stylish, casual lifestyle sneaker.

Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?

While they share the name, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They may not provide the specific support and grip required for competitive handball.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Typically, trainers should allow for a small amount of space at the toe. Trying them on is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What does the '75th Anniversary Pack' signify?

This signifies a special edition celebrating adidas's 75th anniversary, often featuring unique design elements or colorways.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of leather, providing durability and a premium feel.

Troubleshooting

Laces wear out or break.

Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure they are of appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets.

Leather shows scuffs or scratches.

Use a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe cream to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Sole begins to detach.

Minor detachment can sometimes be fixed with a strong adhesive designed for footwear. Significant detachment may require professional repair or replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing. Wearing appropriate socks can also help prevent rubbing.
