Adidas Handball Spezial - Red - 8.5

The uppers of this Adidas Handball Spezial variant are crafted from soft suede, providing a premium look and feel.

While originating from indoor sports, the Adidas Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle shoe. It is not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.

Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective, or a specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Always allow to air dry and avoid harsh scrubbing.

Most users find Adidas Handball Spezials to be true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult Adidas's official sizing guide.

The 'Handball Spezial' name reflects its origins as a high-performance shoe specifically designed for handball players in the late 1970s, offering optimal grip and agility for indoor court sports.

Suede is sensitive to water and moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing your Handball Spezials in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance for light dampness, but it's best to keep them dry.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. Brush in a consistent direction to restore the nap and natural texture of the material.

For dry dirt, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaning solution with a clean cloth, dabbing carefully and allowing to air dry.

Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to the shoes before wearing them, especially in damp conditions. Reapply regularly as per product instructions.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, slightly more textured laces.

The suede material may need some time to 'break in' and mold to your foot. Wear them for shorter periods initially. Ensure you've selected the correct size according to Adidas's sizing charts.
