FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not provide the impact protection or energy return required for long-distance running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to use your standard UK size, though users with wider feet may find sizing up by a half-size more comfortable.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as water immersion and agitation can damage the materials and affect the color integrity.

Is the design unisex?

Yes, the Handball Spezial is a unisex model designed to fit a variety of adult foot shapes and styles.

What should I do if the color fades?

To preserve the color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store them in a cool, dark place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe shape and minimize natural leather or material creasing.

Surface dirt accumulation

Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior, followed by air drying in a cool, shaded spot.

Lace tension discomfort

Adjust the lacing pattern to better suit your foot width; the classic low profile can be adjusted for a tighter lockdown or looser fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic vintage design that never goes out of style
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday wear
  • Versatile unisex aesthetic
  • Iconic adidas branding details

Cons

  • Low-profile sole offers less cushioning than modern running shoes
  • Not specifically intended for high-intensity professional sports
  • Limited arch support compared to contemporary orthopedic footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in optimal condition, treat them as you would any premium casual footwear. Since the shoes feature a specific color palette of red and blue, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners that might cause color bleeding or fabric degradation. For general maintenance, gently brush off loose dirt after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the structural integrity of the materials. When sizing, note that these models typically follow standard adult sizing conventions; if you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug versus relaxed fit.
