FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial series generally follows standard UK sizing conventions for a comfortable, regular fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which provides a soft touch and distinct retro look.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While originally designed for handball, these are now considered lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for modern high-intensity gym workouts.
How do I maintain the gold foil branding?
Avoid scrubbing the areas with gold-tone foil branding, as abrasive cleaning will cause the print to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the fibers back into position.
Minor scuffs on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber perimeter, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal use, ensure the trainers are properly laced to secure the foot within the reinforced heel cup. To care for your suede Spezial trainers, invest in a quality suede brush and a water-repellent spray. Before the first wear, apply a protective barrier to shield the material from dirt and light moisture. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the suede nap to restore the texture. Keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
