FAQs

How do I clean my leather adidas Handball Spezial sneakers?

Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Clean the gum rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

No, while they have a sporting heritage, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial are designed for casual wear and street style, not for high-performance athletic activities.

Do these run true to size?

Most users find them to run true to size, but if you have wider feet, you might consider going up half a size as the fit can be snug.

How do I prevent creases in the leather?

To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help maintain its flexibility.

What is the difference between the leather and suede versions?

The leather version (like this one) offers a smooth, durable finish that is generally easier to wipe clean and requires leather-specific conditioning. Suede versions have a softer, napped texture and require suede-specific cleaning and protection to prevent staining and maintain appearance.

Can I wear them in the rain?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not waterproof. It's recommended to apply a leather protector spray for enhanced water repellency and avoid heavy rain to protect the material.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and suppleness.

Soles are losing their grip.

Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Strong odor from inside the shoe.

Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight before shaking it out.

White marks or scuffs on the leather.

For minor scuffs, try rubbing gently with a clean, soft cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized leather cleaner or a leather color restorer might be needed.

Shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable initially.

Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather and synthetic lining to mold to your foot. Thinner socks can also help during the break-in period.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather Handball Spezial sneakers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a brush to remove grime and maintain grip.
  1. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  2. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.
