FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Handball Spezial?
The primary material is suede, with suede overlays for added structure and durability. The outsole is made of brown gum rubber.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, and always test on a small area first. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Is this shoe suitable for playing handball?
While originally designed for handball, this version is primarily considered a lifestyle or streetwear shoe. It offers comfort for daily wear but is not optimized for the high-performance demands of professional handball.
What does the 'Preloved Green' color refer to?
Preloved Green is the specific shade of green used for the suede upper, offering a slightly muted, vintage-inspired hue.
What does the 'SPEZIAL' branding mean?
Spezial is a sub-brand within adidas that often features heritage-inspired designs and models, including archival indoor sports shoes.
What is the fit like for the adidas Handball Spezial?
The fit is generally considered true to size for many, but some users find the midfoot area to be slightly narrow. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged and stained. Consider waterproofing sprays or avoiding wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture or looking matted.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to restore its nap. For stubborn matting, a slightly damp cloth followed by brushing may help.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow the shoes to dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the affected fibers. For significant discoloration, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Laces becoming dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow them to air dry before re-lacing.
