FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by indoor court sports and do not have the technical cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the rubber outsole?

You can clean the sides of the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid getting water on the suede upper.

Does the suede require special care?

Yes, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray regularly.

Is the Handball Spezial narrow or wide?

The fit is generally standard; however, the slim profile of the retro design may feel snug for individuals with very wide feet.

Can I remove the laces?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced if you wish to change the color or style.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or worn

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the material in a circular motion to restore the nap.

Visible dirt or stains on the upper

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently buff the stain out, following up with a brush.

Insole feels less cushioned over time

The included insole is replaceable; you can swap it for an aftermarket orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you have the correct UK measurement before initial wear.
  2. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the suede will soften and mold further to your foot shape after the first few wears.
  3. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and glue.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically use a suede protector spray to add a water-repellent layer against spills and light moisture.
