FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional handball?

While inspired by handball shoes, the Handball Spezial are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual athletic use. For professional handball, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on most retail websites. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models and individuals.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoe. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is typically made from a combination of suede and synthetic materials, designed for durability and a classic look. Specific material composition may vary slightly by release.

How does the gum sole perform in wet conditions?

The gum sole provides good grip on dry surfaces. In wet conditions, traction may be reduced, and caution should be exercised to prevent slips.

What is the intended use for the adidas Handball Spezial series?

The Handball Spezial series originated as indoor handball shoes but has evolved into a popular lifestyle sneaker, suitable for everyday wear, casual activities, and light sports.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened. Wear the shoes for a short period to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct.

Gum sole losing grip

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Avoid using the shoes on excessively wet or slippery surfaces.

Material discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean the shoes according to the care instructions, using appropriate methods for the material (e.g., suede cleaner for suede sections).

Stitching coming loose

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If significant stitching is unraveling, professional repair might be necessary, or consider it a sign of wear and tear.

Cons

  • May not provide the specialized support needed for high-impact sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply unbox them and they are ready for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The adidas Handball Spezial trainers are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. They are compatible with most casual and athletic wear. They perform best on indoor courts and dry outdoor surfaces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water mixture with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Suede Care (if applicable): If your model features suede, use a specialized suede brush to maintain its texture and remove marks.
  4. Sole Maintenance: Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to keep it clean and maintain its grip.
