FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers based on an indoor sports classic and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.

Are they true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally follows standard adidas sizing, but because of the vintage-inspired shape, some users prefer a slightly wider fit if they have broader feet.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives holding the sole together. Clean by hand only.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium leather.

Does this model come in different widths?

The model is provided in a standard unisex width.

How do I remove scuffs from the leather?

A damp cloth with a mild soap solution usually works for minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a matching leather polish or cream can be applied.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its luster

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Dirt stuck in the rubber sole grooves

Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub the tread clean after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes are crafted from leather, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan.

Care Instructions:

Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
Use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out.
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or extreme heat for prolonged periods to prevent color fading.
If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature; do not use a heater or hairdryer, as this can crack the leather.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for casual unisex use.
For sizing, ensure you verify your UK fit, as the Handball Spezial series often features a slim, heritage-inspired cut.
