Indoor shoes and sneakers on sale
Before you splurge on a pair, check the wear on your soles: if the tread has disappeared under the front of your foot, the Black Friday shoes come just in time to regain grip on the court.
Indoor handball shoes from top brands, models for court sports and everyday sneakers are on sale, in men's, women's, and junior sizes.
What a handball shoe should offer
Handball involves sprints, pivots, direction changes, and jumping. An indoor shoe must therefore support the foot, especially the ankle and forefoot, absorb impacts, and grip the floor without leaving marks. A non-marking rubber sole is essential in most gyms.
Finding your shoe size
Try your shoes on at the end of the day, with the socks you wear for the match. Leave about a finger's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If you're unsure between two sizes, the larger one is often the better choice, especially if you wear thick socks or insoles.
Indoor models by brand
adidas offers the Stabil, one of the top handball shoes for indoor play, and the Crazyflight, which is very popular among female players. Mizuno focuses on its Wave ranges, while Asics features the Sky Elite FF and the Powerbreak FF. Hummel, Kempa, and Nike complete the selection, with options like the Hyperace from Nike. For comparisons, check the shoes adidas, shoes Hummel, shoes Mizuno, shoes Asics, shoes Kempa, and shoes Nike.
Other brands for indoor
Indoor sports specialists are also in the game: Salming, a Swedish brand born in indoor sports, and Under Armour. Their models are also suitable for volleyball or badminton.
Sneakers for after the match
The selection also includes many sneakers for everyday wear, from the Samba to the Spezial from adidas, which is a descendant of a handball shoe, to models from Le Coq Sportif, Reebok, and Converse. Save them for the city: a lifestyle shoe does not provide the support or grip of an indoor shoe.
Extending the life of your shoes
Reserve your indoor shoes for the gym, as the soles wear out quickly on asphalt. Let them dry in the air and remove the insoles after each match. For a quick need, the Black Friday dispatched in 24h page brings together items marked for 24-hour dispatch, and the special shoe offers page offers other discounted prices throughout the year.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find cheap handball shoes during the Black Friday?
Discounted shoes are gathered on this page, with subpages by brand. Filter by handball sport and indoor type to exclude sneakers and see only indoor shoes.
Can you play handball with volleyball shoes?
Yes, a good indoor volleyball shoe often works for handball, as both sports require grip and cushioning on the court. Handball shoes prioritize lateral stability slightly more, which is useful for pivots and fakes.
How can I tell if my handball shoes are worn out?
Check the sole under the front of the foot: if the tread is smooth, grip decreases and the risk of slipping increases. A compressed cushioning or an upper that no longer supports the ankle are also signs that it’s time to change.
Should I take a size up for indoor shoes?
Not necessarily, but many players opt for a half size bigger to leave room at the toe. The size guide of the brand on each product page is the best reference.
Can a sneaker be used for playing handball?
No, a city sneaker does not have the support or sole suited for indoor courts. It increases the risk of sprains and can mark the floor.
