FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial typically fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
These are primarily lifestyle shoes. While comfortable, they do not provide the stability or technical support needed for high-intensity gym sessions.
How do I protect the color?
You can apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray, but check the product on a small, hidden area first.
Does the padded collar help with comfort?
Yes, the padded collar reduces friction around the ankle, which helps prevent blistering during longer periods of wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt in a consistent direction.
Staining from liquid
Immediately blot the area with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Do not rub, as this can force the liquid deeper into the fibers.
Slippage at the heel
Ensure the laces are tied properly to pull the padded collar snugly against the ankle.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers are constructed with suede, proper care is essential. Use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust after each wear to prevent buildup. For deeper cleaning, utilize a professional suede cleaner or a specialized rubber eraser to lift stains. Avoid exposing the shoes to heavy rain or mud, as suede can water-stain easily. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green and pink pigments from fading over time. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size 5, as the design maintains a consistent sizing structure with the wider Handball Spezial series.
