FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip, they are not intended for high-impact or professional athletic performance.
How do I find my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the UK size guide. These trainers are typically true to size for most individuals.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial series is known for its retro design roots in handball court shoes, often featuring a suede or leather upper and a distinctive gum sole, offering a more classic aesthetic compared to modern performance trainers.
How durable is the gum sole?
The gum sole is designed for durability in casual wear, providing good traction. However, like all shoe soles, its longevity depends on the frequency and conditions of use.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear various types of socks, from thin athletic socks to thicker casual socks, depending on your preference and the weather. Ankle socks or crew socks are common choices.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more hours to allow them to break in, or check if the laces are too tight.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Storing them with shoe trees can help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Gum sole discolouration
The gum sole can naturally yellow over time or with exposure to certain chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
