FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas Handball Spezial?

The primary material is nubuck leather, with suede overlays on the toe cap and heel counter.

Are these shoes suitable for playing handball?

While originally designed for indoor sports, this specific model is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear due to its construction and modern updates. They may not provide the necessary support or performance for competitive play.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.

What does the gum rubber sole do?

The gum rubber sole provides a classic aesthetic and offers good grip on indoor surfaces. It's a signature element of the Handball Spezial series.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear nubuck and suede shoes in heavy rain, as the materials can be damaged. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection for light moisture.

What is the difference between this and other Handball Spezial models?

Variations typically come down to colorways, materials used for the stripes or overlays (e.g., leather vs. suede), and minor branding details. The core silhouette and sole unit remain consistent.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or adidas. These are generally considered true to size, but personal preference for fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck leather appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following product instructions.

Soles are leaving marks

This is common with gum rubber soles. Try cleaning the sole with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe feels slightly tight

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.
