FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While rooted in handball, this version is primarily designed for casual wear and daily activity.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your child's foot to align with the UK size chart.

How do I remove mud from the gum outsole?

Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with mild soapy water to scrub the gum rubber carefully.

Is the leather material difficult to keep clean?

Leather is actually quite resilient; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for regular maintenance.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the design and colorway of the Handball Spezial are intended for all children regardless of gender.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesive components of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuff marks

Gently buff the scuffed area with a soft, dry cloth or a leather-safe cleaning wipe to restore the surface appearance.

Interior feels damp after heavy use

Remove the insoles if possible and stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper to help absorb moisture overnight.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace with standard flat laces of similar length to maintain the classic look of the Handball Spezial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Originals Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure a proper fit by checking the space between the big toe and the end of the shoe. A thumbnail's width of space is generally recommended.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after outdoor use to remove dust or mud. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can crack the leather or cause the glue to lose its bond.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the brown and black colors from fading over time.
