FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to UK sizing, but you may want to size up by half a size if you prefer a roomier fit.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is highly discouraged to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the suede or leather materials and compromise the adhesive.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While based on a handball shoe, modern versions are intended for lifestyle and casual wear; dedicated court shoes offer superior support for competitive sports.
What is the best way to clean the green suede?
Use a dry, soft brush first, then apply a specialized suede cleaner if necessary, following the product instructions carefully.
Do the shoes need to be broken in?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, but leather versions may take a few wears to soften and fully contour to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on the suede material
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift and remove light scuffs.
Dirt buildup in the tread
Use a medium-bristle brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge debris from the rubber sole grooves.
Leather looking dry or dull
Apply a high-quality, clear leather conditioner to rehydrate the material and restore its natural finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers stay in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: For suede models, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather models, wipe down with a slightly damp cloth.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede or leather to protect against spills and unexpected rain.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green dye from fading.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to test the fit with thin socks initially to allow for a slight break-in period.
