FAQs

While based on a handball classic, this version is designed for casual lifestyle use rather than competitive sports.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Yes, they feature a regular fit that is generally consistent with standard adidas sizing.

Can I use these in wet weather?

How do I identify the Messi branding on the shoe?

You can find the signature Messi logo on the heel and distinct 'LEO' detailing on the tongue.

Troubleshooting

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

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Sole grip becoming slippery

Clean the bottom of the rubber sole with a brush and soapy water to remove debris and dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Handball Spezial Messi trainers last as long as possible, it is recommended to keep them dry. Because the upper is made of premium leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, followed by a dry cloth to buff the surface. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted before wear to prevent unnecessary stress on the leather panels. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy.
