FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial features a standard fit. While the leather will soften over time, they are generally best for narrow to average foot widths.
Can these be used for indoor sports?
Yes, they were originally designed for indoor sports and offer excellent traction on gym floors.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and comparing the measurement to the adidas size guide.
Are the laces standard length?
Yes, they come with standard length laces that allow for a secure lockdown fit suitable for active children.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the colors from fading.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a leather conditioner or a mild cream polish suitable for the shoe color to restore shine and cover minor scuffs.
Sole is losing traction
Clean the gum sole thoroughly with warm soapy water and a brush to remove trapped dirt, which is the primary cause of grip loss.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, regular maintenance is essential. Keep the leather upper clean by wiping away surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For the gum outsole, a soft brush can be used to remove debris trapped in the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.
