FAQs
What material are the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial shoes made of?
The upper is primarily made of suede, with synthetic materials for the stripes and branding. The sole is made of rubber and gum.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
These shoes are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They offer good grip and comfort but may not provide the specialized support needed for high-impact sports or long-distance running.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution can be used carefully, ensuring it doesn't damage the suede.
What does the 'Spezial' branding refer to?
'Spezial' is a line from Adidas Originals that often draws inspiration from vintage sportswear and archival designs, giving classic models a contemporary update.
What is the sole height of these shoes?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3 cm.
Can these shoes be worn by both men and women?
Yes, while this specific model is listed for men, the Handball Spezial series is popular across genders, and sizing is available for adult men and women. It's recommended to check the specific sizing chart.
How should I store my Handball Spezial sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag can prevent accumulation of dirt.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Gently brush with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before brushing again.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Wear with thin socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing guides if unsure.
Sole is losing grip.
Clean the sole to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. If the wear is significant, replacement may be considered.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a similar style or color. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.
