FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, washing suede shoes in a machine will permanently damage the material and the gum outsole.
Are these good for sports?
While originally designed for handball, modern high-impact sports require more specialized cushioning; these are best reserved for casual, everyday use.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Use a suede-specific waterproofing spray applied in thin, even layers, allowing for adequate drying time between coats.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium suede, complemented by a textile lining and a rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or marks on the suede
Use a suede brush or an eraser block to gently rub the affected area to lift debris.
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with suede materials; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Laces becoming loose
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if they slip frequently during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material after each wear.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before wearing them in inclement weather.
- Cleaning: For spot cleaning, use a suede-safe eraser to gently lift stains rather than using water, which can damage the suede texture.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue dyes to fade over time.
- Fit Note: The shoes feature a standard lace-up closure; adjust the tension of the laces to accommodate your preferred level of lockdown without overtightening.
