FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit in the toe box.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the shoe structure. Always clean them by hand using appropriate brushes or cleaners.
Are these suitable for playing handball?
While they derive from handball heritage, modern versions like this are designed as lifestyle trainers. For high-intensity court sports, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede can help prevent light moisture and dirt from settling into the fabric.
Does the leather or suede version last longer?
Leather is generally easier to wipe clean and more resistant to weather, while the suede provides a premium look that benefits from more attentive, specialized care.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dirt on suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush in one direction to gently lift away surface debris.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a rubber suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area until the texture is restored.
Sole grip is slippery due to debris
Wipe the textured rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit and restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Handball Spezial uses suede material, routine maintenance is essential to extend the lifespan of your trainers. To keep them looking fresh, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dust and debris regularly. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material and structural integrity. If you encounter a stain, use a suede-specific cleaning solution or a rubber eraser designed for nubuck and suede. For storage, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not excessively tight to maintain the shape of the collar padding over time.
