This guide is for anyone looking to understand and get the most out of their adidas Originals Handball Spezial footwear, specifically the Brown/Silver Slippers & Sandals model. It offers a unique blend of iconic retro styling from the classic 1979 handball shoe with the comfort and ease of a slipper or sandal. The main benefit is achieving a distinct vintage look with premium suede, though users should be aware of the specific care requirements for suede material.

No, despite their 'Handball Spezial' name, this specific model is classified as 'Slippers & Sandals' and is intended for casual wear and style purposes, not for active sports performance. Their design is inspired by the original 1979 handball shoe.
This product is a UK size 7. adidas Originals generally offers a regular fit. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try on footwear or consult an adidas sizing chart, although for this specific product, size is fixed.
Suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. It is strongly recommended to avoid wearing these in wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and then re-brush the suede.
The 'Handball Spezial' series includes both trainers designed for active use (or as casual sneakers) and, in this specific case, a 'Slippers & Sandals' variant. While sharing the iconic design, the 'Slippers & Sandals' model prioritizes comfort and casual style over athletic performance, and its construction may differ to reflect this.
The frequency depends on usage and exposure to dirt. For best results, lightly brush the suede after each wear to prevent dust build-up. A deeper clean with an eraser or specialized product can be done as needed for visible marks or dullness.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to restore its nap and appearance. Brush in one direction.
For dry stains, use a suede eraser. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub. If persistent, consider professional suede cleaning.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 7. Over time, the suede may slightly conform to your foot shape.
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes a little talcum powder under the insole can resolve friction-related squeaks. If the issue persists, inspect the outsole for embedded debris.
Setting up your Handball Spezial Slippers & Sandals is as simple as lacing them up to your preferred comfort level. These are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and retro-inspired wardrobes. For optimal care, it's crucial to protect the suede upper. - Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on the suede, as this can cause staining or damage. - Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape. - Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
