FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a 9.5 in other adidas Originals models, you should find these to have a consistent fit.
Can I wear these for sports?
While rooted in the Handball Spezial series, this specific variant is styled as a fashion-forward low shoe. It is designed for casual daily use, not professional athletic activity.
How do I protect the light yellow leather?
We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather before your first wear to provide a protective barrier.
Is the sole removable?
The interior features a comfortable insole; however, it is not designed to be a removable insert for orthotics.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge leather shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.
What is the primary material used?
These shoes are constructed primarily with a high-quality leather upper and a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe area
This is natural for leather shoes. Insert shoe trees after wear to minimize deep creases and maintain the shape.
Surface dirt on leather
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Sole grip feels slippery
Check the tread for debris or buildup. If the sole is new, walking on a rough surface for a short distance can help break in the traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial shoes stay in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since these are low-profile leather shoes, avoid using them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can affect the leather finish. To clean, wipe away surface dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the yellow hue. We recommend using cedar shoe trees if possible to help the shoes retain their shape and absorb any moisture trapped inside after a full day of wear.
