Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial Trainers are designed for adult women who appreciate a blend of 1979 heritage design and modern, refined aesthetics. These shoes offer a sophisticated look suitable for casual, everyday wear, featuring high-quality leather construction and an iconic gum sole. A key caveat for potential buyers is that these shoes are built with a low-profile silhouette, which may offer less arch support than dedicated performance athletic footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on a classic indoor court design. They lack the technical cushioning and stability needed for long-distance running.

What is the best way to clean the white accents?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap-and-water mix with a soft brush to carefully clean the white details without saturating the leather.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, these are designed to fit according to standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual shoe size.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are designed for the specific silhouette of this shoe, but they can generally be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage to the leather and interior.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape and minimize natural creasing.

Difficulty cleaning the gum sole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to scrub the gum rubber gently.

General grime on the leather surface

Wipe the surface with a lightly dampened cloth, followed by a dry cloth to prevent water stains.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable, high-quality leather construction
  • Lightweight and comfortable for daily walking
  • Classic retro silhouette that remains stylish

  • Low-profile sole offers limited impact cushioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since they feature a leather upper, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot clean the surface. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from heaters or radiators which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you select the correct size, as the fit is consistent with standard UK adult sizing.
