FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual handball?
While based on a handball silhouette, this specific model is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than professional court performance.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual size for the best fit.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and structural integrity.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the gum-style rubber outsoles on the Spezial line are generally non-marking, making them safe for most indoor gym surfaces.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
They feature a standard foam insole; for those requiring extra support, replacing the factory insole with an orthotic insert is possible.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels slightly tight after a few hours
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and allow the material to naturally conform to your foot shape over the first few wears.
Surface scuffing on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a soft suede/leather brush to gently buff out surface-level marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas Handball Spezial shoes requires minimal effort. When first wearing them, ensure your socks are properly fitted to avoid friction. Compatibility-wise, these shoes pair exceptionally well with denim, trousers, or athleisure wear. To maintain the condition of your shoes:
- Clean periodically with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust.
- For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
