FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Handball Spezial generally fits true to standard adidas sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning with appropriate tools.

Is the material waterproof?

No, suede is naturally porous. We recommend applying a protective suede spray to help repel water and prevent stains.

Can I use these for indoor sports?

While they were designed for handball, modern athletic footwear provides better support and specialized grip for current high-intensity sports.

What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole provides a classic aesthetic and offers reliable grip for casual walking on various urban surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap and lift away dry dust or dirt.

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap for cotton laces with more friction for a more secure hold.

General wear and creasing

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: The shoes feature a standard lace-up system; pull the laces firmly to secure the fit across the instep for stability.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to add a layer of protection against light moisture.
