FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for running?
While they offer good grip for indoor court activities, they are not designed as dedicated running shoes and may lack the necessary cushioning and support for long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I clean the white leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the leather. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas trainers?
The Handball Spezial is characterized by its specific indoor court traction pattern and a classic, retro silhouette derived from its handball origins, offering a distinct style compared to more modern or specialized training shoes.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions, especially indoors. Wearing them in wet weather may affect traction and the material's longevity.
What are the black accents made of?
The black accents typically consist of synthetic leather or suede, complementing the main white upper material.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
The break-in period can vary per individual, but typically lasts a few wears over a week for most users to achieve optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new athletic shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris. The shoes are optimized for indoor court surfaces; performance may vary on dusty or wet external floors.
Laces wear out or break.
Replace laces with standard flat athletic shoelaces. Ensure the replacement laces are of a similar length and material for proper fit and durability.
