FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity gym workouts?
While they were originally handball shoes, they are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and lack the modern cushioning required for heavy lifting or high-impact training.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush or eraser. Do not use washing machines or harsh chemical detergents as they can ruin the material texture.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing for a low-profile trainer.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which is known for its durability and soft finish.
Can I replace the insoles?
The interior features a textile lining; while the stock insoles are integrated, you can replace them with thin aftermarket orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or salt stains on suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface marks and follow up with a soft brush.
Shoes feel too snug or loose
Adjust the lace-up tension at the eyelets to customize the fit across the midfoot.
Outsole loses grip due to dust buildup
Wipe the gum rubber soles with a damp, lint-free cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Handball Spezial trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance tips:
- Protective Spray: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede color over time.
- Laces: The lace-up closure allows for a customized fit; replace them if they show signs of fraying to maintain the clean look of the shoe.
