FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size, but since they are crafted from suede, they may offer a slightly snug feel initially that adjusts to your foot shape over time.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it will damage the suede material and weaken the structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which is known for its durability and soft finish.

Do these provide good arch support?

Yes, they feature generous cushioning designed for daily wear, providing a comfortable level of support for most foot shapes.

Are these suitable for playing actual handball?

While based on a handball silhouette, modern versions are designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than the specific demands of professional court sports.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the original texture.

Dirt spots on the suede

Use a suede eraser or a light dry cleaning sponge specifically designed for delicate leathers.

Difficulty in maintaining traction on wet floors

While the gum sole is durable, it is not specialized for slick ice or oil, so ensure the soles are clean and dry before walking on slippery surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Protective Treatment: Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. This creates a barrier against spills and light rain.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and adhesive bond.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Styling: Utilize the included additional laces to change the silhouette or color accent of your shoe to match your outfit preference.
  5. Maintenance: If the soles accumulate debris, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring you do not get the suede upper wet.
