FAQs
How do I clean my Adidas Handball Spezial ST W shoes?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For mesh and rubber, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with skaters in mind. They feature lower proportions and reinforced toebox and heel areas for added protection and durability during skateboarding, blending terrace style with skatepark functionality.
What materials are used in these shoes?
The upper is a combination of premium suede overlays and mesh. The lining is textile, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Are the Adidas Handball Spezial ST W comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed to offer enhanced comfort and support, making them suitable for extended wear throughout the day.
What does the 'ST' in Adidas Handball Spezial ST W signify?
While not explicitly defined in the product description, 'ST' in this context refers to a specific version of the Handball Spezial that emphasizes a 'Skate Terrace' or 'Street' adaptation, blending its original indoor sports heritage with features optimized for skateboarding and street style.
How true to size are these sneakers?
Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. If unsure, consult an Adidas sizing chart or try them on.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
While the shoes are durable, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain as it can get stained or damaged by water. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions or use a waterproof spray designed for suede.
Troubleshooting
My white shoes are looking dirty quickly.
Regularly clean your shoes, especially after each wear. Use a suede brush for the suede parts and a damp cloth for the mesh and rubber. Consider using a protective spray designed for suede and textile shoes to repel water and stains.
Suede appears matted or stiff.
After cleaning, gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush to restore its nap and softness. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
The shoes feel a bit stiff during initial wear.
Like most new footwear, these shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.
I'm experiencing poor grip on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the sole is heavily worn, the grip may naturally diminish over time.

Care Instructions
- Suede and Mesh Upper: To clean the suede portions, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, gently blot with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild suede cleaner, then brush once dry. Avoid soaking the suede. The mesh areas can be gently wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Rubber Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime. A soft brush can help clean textured areas.
- General Maintenance: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat. For white footwear, it's recommended to clean regularly to prevent dirt from setting in. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and material integrity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
