FAQs

Are the adidas Handball Spezial unisex?

Yes, the '75th Anniversary Pack Collegiate Royal' is marketed as unisex, suitable for both men and women.

What is the main material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper is leather, designed for durability and comfort.

How should I determine my correct UK size?

It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot from heel to toe. Comparing with previous adidas shoe sizes you own can also be helpful.

Can these shoes be worn for actual handball games?

While inspired by handball shoes, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not designed for the high-impact demands of professional handball.

What does the '75th Anniversary' designation mean?

It signifies a special edition release commemorating 75 years of the adidas brand or a specific product line, often featuring unique design elements or branding.

How do I clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can typically be cleaned with mild soap and water using a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions of the seller from whom you purchased the shoes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try lacing them differently. Wearing thinner socks may help. Leather shoes often require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or moisture. Try adding talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and ensure they are stored properly. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Discoloration on white rubber sole

Use a magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution with a soft cloth to gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you select the correct size before purchase. The lacing system can be adjusted to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear across genders. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, tracksuits, and casual trousers.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede (if applicable): If any parts are suede, use a suede brush to restore texture and remove dry dirt.
  3. Laces: Remove and hand wash laces separately with mild soap and water.
  4. Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or an old toothbrush for crevices.
  5. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
