FAQs
Are the Adidas Originals Handball Spezial true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally runs true to size, but due to its anatomical fit, some users may find them snug initially. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider your preferred fit when ordering.
How do I clean the suede material?
For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always let the shoes air dry naturally.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable gum rubber, which provides excellent grip and a classic aesthetic.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the gum sole offers some grip, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, or use a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the main benefit of the anatomical fit?
The anatomical fit is designed to provide a more natural and comfortable shape that conforms to your foot over time, offering improved support and a personalized feel.
How do the green side stripes contribute to the design?
The iconic green 3-Stripes are a signature Adidas design element that adds a pop of color and reinforces the shoe's retro handball heritage.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 2 cm at the base, increasing to about 3 cm at its highest point.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
The Handball Spezial features an anatomical fit that may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow suede to air dry completely.
Gum sole is dirty.
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry.
