FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

Can these be worn for playing football?

While originally designed for indoor sports, they are intended as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support needed for competitive pitch play.

How do I clean the white accents?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soapy water solution with a soft brush, focusing only on the white sections to avoid bleeding the blue dye.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, this model features a premium leather upper for durability and style.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The midsole provides a standard, firm level of support suitable for casual, everyday walking.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to hydrate the material and restore its natural lustre.

Outer sole loses grip due to debris

Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to clean the gum rubber tread, ensuring all pebbles or dirt are removed.

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, versatile '70s-inspired design
  • High-quality, durable leather construction
  • Excellent grip provided by the gum rubber sole
  • Includes authentic team branding details
  • Comfortable for all-day casual wear

Cons

  • Leather requires regular cleaning to prevent scuffs
  • May require a short break-in period for the leather to soften
  • Not suitable for high-intensity athletic training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in pristine condition, keep them away from excessive mud or wet environments, as moisture can damage the leather upper over time. For regular maintenance, use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. If scuffs occur, apply a leather-specific cream or conditioner to restore the finish. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Team Royal Blue colour from fading. If the laces become worn or soiled, they are easily replaceable with standard flat athletic laces.
