FAQs
Are the adidas Handball Spezial suitable for active sports?
While originating from a handball shoe, the modern Handball Spezial is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear fashion, offering comfort and style for everyday use. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede on my blue Handball Spezial sneakers?
For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What kind of fit do these shoes have?
The Handball Spezial features a 'regular fit', meaning it's designed to accommodate most standard foot shapes comfortably. If you have particularly wide feet, you might consider trying them on to ensure optimal comfort.
What materials are used in the construction of these sneakers?
These sneakers are crafted with a premium blend of leather and textile for the upper (predominantly suede), a comfortable synthetic lining, and a durable rubber outsole with a thick gum sole.
Can I wear my Handball Spezial in wet weather?
Due to the suede upper, it's generally best to avoid heavy rain or excessively wet conditions, as water can stain or damage suede. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
What is the significance of the 'T-toe' design?
The distinctive T-toe is a classic design element characteristic of many adidas heritage styles, including the Handball Spezial. It contributes to the shoe's iconic look and provides subtle reinforcement to the toe area.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Shoes feel less comfortable or supportive over time
Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal fit. If cushioning feels worn, consider adding a new insole for enhanced comfort. Verify you are wearing the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause discomfort.
Gum sole has lost some grip or is slippery
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be impacting traction. A mild soap and water solution with a stiff brush can be effective in restoring grip.
Laces are frayed or damaged
Replace the original laces with new ones of the appropriate length and style to restore the shoe's appearance and ensure a secure fit.

Care
To ensure your adidas Handball Spezial sneakers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Suede Cleaning: The high-quality suede upper requires particular attention. Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, using a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the suede.
- General Cleaning: For the rubber sole and any synthetic parts, wipe them clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or fade.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
