FAQs

What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?

The upper is crafted from premium suede material, specifically in an 'Olive Strata' olive beige shade, providing a soft and comfortable feel.

Are these shoes suitable for actual handball or sports?

While originally designed for indoor sports in the 70s, these shoes are updated for contemporary style and comfort. They are best suited for casual wear and light recreational activities rather than high-performance athletic use.

How should I clean my adidas Handball Spezial shoes?

For the suede upper, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, applied carefully. Avoid excessive water. The gum rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Do these shoes run true to size?

They feature a regular fit and are available in standard UK adult sizing. It's generally recommended to choose your usual size, but referring to adidas' official size chart for exact measurements can ensure the best fit.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

The shoes feature a durable gum rubber outsole, which provides excellent grip on various surfaces and contributes to their classic aesthetic.

Is the 'SPEZIAL' branding on the side genuine?

Yes, the gold 'SPEZIAL' branding on the side is an authentic detail, part of the original design aesthetic and a key feature of the Handball Spezial series.

Can these shoes be worn by both men and women?

Yes, these adidas Handball Spezial shoes are designed as a unisex product, suitable for all genders, and are offered in a range of adult sizes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques for a more personalized fit. If the size is incorrect, refer to adidas' size guide for future purchases.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly applying baby powder or a thin fabric sheet underneath. If the issue persists, contact customer support as it might indicate a manufacturing issue.

Suede looks matted or worn down.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and refresh the appearance. For stubborn areas, a suede eraser might help lift the nap and remove superficial marks.

Setup: The shoes feature a classic lace-up closure. To set up, simply lace them through the eyelets and tie them for a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust lacing tension to your preference for optimal comfort. Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adults and are available in various UK sizes (e.g., 4, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 10, 11, 12). They are classified as unisex, suitable for all genders, aligning with adidas' inclusive sizing. Care: The upper is made of premium suede. To maintain its appearance and prolong its life, avoid exposure to excessive moisture. For cleaning, gently brush off dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Air dry away from direct heat and avoid direct sunlight which can fade suede. Regular cleaning will help preserve the suede's texture and color.
