FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most men, providing a standard regular fit. If you prefer a looser feel or wear very thick socks, some users recommend sizing up by half a size.

Can I use these for playing handball or football?

While the design originated for indoor sports, modern versions are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual use. They lack the specialized lateral support found in modern professional court shoes.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild soap to wipe the gum rubber edges clean.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Due to the suede material, it is best to avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture and color of the suede.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite sock liner?

The OrthoLite liner provides long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management to keep your feet cool and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Visible water or mud stains on the suede

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it away with a soft suede brush. For water spots, dab the entire area lightly with a damp cloth to even out the tone and let dry naturally.

Laces becoming loose during wear

Ensure a double-knot or secure cross-lace pattern; if the laces show signs of wear or fraying, replace them with standard flat laces of an appropriate length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile vintage aesthetic
  • High-quality suede material construction
  • Excellent underfoot comfort from the OrthoLite liner
  • Durable gum rubber outsole with reliable traction

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Lighter colourways may show dirt more easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The adidas Handball Spezial shoes come ready to wear with a standard lace-up design. To maintain the integrity of the suede, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray before the first use to repel water and light dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and ruin the suede texture. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional shoe cleaner to avoid damaging the delicate material.
