How does the Handball Spezial fit compared with the Samba?

It fits similarly slim but runs slightly longer. Many buyers take the same size in both, though some go half a size down in the Spezial.

If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, half a size down is the common choice. Wide feet may prefer their usual size.

Can I use it for handball or gym sessions?

No. It is a lifestyle shoe now. The flat gum sole and suede upper are not built for court play or training.

It is flat and thin with minimal cushioning. It is fine for errands and short days, but long walks may leave your feet tired.

Brush off dirt when dry and use a suede protector before the first wear. Keep it away from heavy rain and standing water.

Yes. adidas lists it as unisex, and the sizing runs in standard men's and women's equivalents.
