Adidas Handball Spezial - Green - 9

While the Handball Spezial has roots in handball, the modern version is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It offers good traction and comfort for everyday wear but is not recommended for high-performance sports.

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a dedicated suede/velvet cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

The shoe features a 'regular fit', which means it's generally true to size and offers a comfortable, standard width. You can adjust the lace closure for a more personalized fit.

The velvet and suede materials are not naturally water-resistant. Wearing them in heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the material and cause staining. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

The upper is made from velvet with suede overlays, while the lining is synthetic for comfort. The outsole is made of durable rubber for traction.

The gold-plated 'Spezial' inscription is designed to be durable. However, like any metallic detailing, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents can potentially diminish its finish over a long period. Gentle cleaning is recommended.

Gently brush dry dirt with a suede brush. For wet stains, dab carefully with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede/velvet cleaner according to product instructions.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing patterns or checking your size with an adidas sizing guide.

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris. Use a stiff brush and warm water. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing. If the sole appears worn, replacement may be necessary for safety.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction. For velvet, a soft cloth can sometimes help lift the fibers.
