FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all-weather conditions?
The Adidas Originals Handball Spezial are primarily designed for dry conditions. While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially due to the suede accents and light color.
How do I ensure the correct size fit?
These sneakers are listed in UK sizes. It's generally recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, refer to Adidas' official size guide and consider your usual sneaker size for Adidas Originals models. They are generally considered to fit true to size for most individuals.
Can I use regular shoe polish on these sneakers?
Avoid using standard shoe polish, especially on the suede or light-colored leather parts, as it can stain or alter the material. Stick to specialized leather cleaners and conditioners for the leather areas, and a suede brush for suede components.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of these Adidas Originals Handball Spezial sneakers is crafted from high-quality leather, complemented by synthetic materials for durability and style. The iconic stripes are also typically synthetic.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The cream-colored rubber sole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these sneakers comfortable for standing all day?
Yes, with their logo-lined interior and good sole support, the Handball Spezial are designed to offer a comfortable fit, making them suitable for extended periods of standing or walking during daily activities.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers look dull or dirty after wear.
For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. For the rubber sole, a gentle scrub with soap and water can restore its brightness.
The leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.
New leather can sometimes feel stiff. Wear your sneakers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in naturally. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks to reduce friction. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
This is often caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe (under where the insole sits), and then replacing the insole. If the problem persists, consider replacing the insoles.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your leather and synthetic sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For surface marks, wipe with a damp, soft cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the affected areas. Do not soak the leather.
- Suede (If applicable on specific areas): For suede elements, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with marks.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Never put your leather sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can cause irreversible damage.
