FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Originals Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can these shoes be worn for running?
These are lifestyle trainers; they are not designed for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I protect the suede?
Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier against liquids and dirt.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
It is recommended to avoid wearing these in heavy rain, as water can soak through the suede and cause staining or water spots.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are typically standard. If you require custom orthotics, you may be able to replace the factory insole with a thinner insert.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuffs on the suede
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized rubber suede eraser to gently buff the scuffed area until the nap is restored.
Dirt stuck in the gum sole
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to wipe the crevices of the sole, then air dry thoroughly.
Color fading from sun exposure
Store trainers in a shoebox or a dark cupboard and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Handball Spezial trainers, ensure they are properly laced for a secure fit. As these are suede, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede repellent spray before their first wear to guard against dust and moisture. To clean the shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the glue bonds in the sole. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
