FAQs
Are the Handball Spezial shoes good for running?
While they offer good support and cushioning, they are primarily designed for court sports and casual wear, not long-distance running. Their tread pattern is optimized for indoor grip.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room for your toes. They should not feel excessively tight or loose. Refer to the sizing chart and try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not designed for wet conditions. The materials can be damaged by excessive moisture, and the traction is not optimized for wet surfaces.
What is the main difference between Handball Spezial and other adidas sneakers?
The Handball Spezial is a reissue of a classic handball shoe, featuring a specific silhouette, sole pattern, and material construction optimized for agility and grip on indoor courts, often with distinctive suede overlays and contrasting stripes.
How often should I clean my Handball Spezial shoes?
Clean your shoes as needed, depending on usage. Regular spot cleaning with a brush or damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Do these shoes come in other colors besides white and green?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series is available in a variety of colorways, including beige and other combinations, though this specific model is chalk white with collegiate green and night indigo details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip is optimized for indoor courts; performance may vary on wet or uneven outdoor surfaces.
Color transfer from the green accents
In rare cases, color transfer can occur, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when the shoes are damp. Allow them to dry fully before wearing.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar thickness and material. You can find replacement laces at most sporting goods stores or online retailers.
