FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing actual handball?

While based on a handball silhouette, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the modern lateral support required for competitive court sports.

Do the shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing. If you have worn the Handball Spezial series before, you should select your usual size.

How do I remove scuffs from the leather?

Use a soft leather cleaner or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to swap them out for custom orthotics.

Are these waterproof?

The leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should be protected with a spray if worn in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with premium leather. Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape.

Difficulty keeping laces tight

Ensure the laces are not waxed excessively and utilize a double knot if you find they slip during the day.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a long lifespan, it is recommended to apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before initial use. For cleaning, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. Because these follow standard adidas sizing, choosing your typical UK footwear size is generally sufficient for a standard fit.
