Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers are designed for individuals seeking a timeless, retro-inspired aesthetic combined with everyday durability. Originally engineered for elite handball athletes, these trainers offer a classic low-profile silhouette and reliable grip, making them an ideal choice for casual street style and urban commuting. One caveat to consider is that while they are versatile, they are primarily built for lifestyle use rather than high-intensity modern athletic support.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard UK adult sizing, though the low-profile design may feel slightly snug if you have wider feet.

Can I use these for sports?

While they were designed as handball shoes in 1979, modern athletic shoes offer superior technology for high-impact sports. These are best used for casual fashion.

How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?

Use a soft brush and a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to scrub away dirt, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with custom orthotics for added comfort or support.

Are they waterproof?

No, they are made of leather and are not intended for use in heavy rain or deep puddles.

What is the best way to store them?

Keep them in a cool, dry environment. Using shoe trees can help the leather maintain its shape when not being worn.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, then buff gently with a dry microfiber cloth.

Laces feel too tight or loose

The Handball Spezial uses a standard lacing system; try re-lacing with a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

White leather looking dull

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or white shoe cream specifically formulated for sneakers to restore the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile, timeless design suitable for various outfits
  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Excellent grip provided by the traditional gum rubber outsole
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day urban walking

Cons

  • Not intended for modern high-impact athletic performance
  • White leather requires regular maintenance to stay pristine
  • Low-profile fit offers less arch support than specialized running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first unbox your Handball Spezial trainers, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot; leather generally breaks in slightly over time to accommodate the unique shape of your foot. To maintain the appearance, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup. For the gum soles, a soft-bristled brush can remove debris from the grooves. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the adhesives and leather texture. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing or material stiffening.
