FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Adidas shoes generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting the Adidas size chart for accurate measurements.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by water, leading to stains, discoloration, and changes in texture. If they do get wet, refer to the care instructions in this guide.

How do I clean the gold foil Trefoil logo?

The gold foil Trefoil logo is quite delicate. Gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the foil.

What type of socks should I wear with the Handball Spezial?

For optimal comfort and to prevent odor, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks. The choice of thickness depends on your personal preference and how snug you prefer the fit.

Are these suitable for sports or running?

While the Handball Spezial has roots in indoor sports, it is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance sports, running, or strenuous physical activities where specialized athletic footwear would be more appropriate.

How long do Adidas Handball Spezial shoes typically last?

With proper care and maintenance, a pair of Adidas Handball Spezial can last several years. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, walking surfaces, and adherence to cleaning guidelines, especially for the suede material.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit, following the product's instructions. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are properly adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight. Allow for a short break-in period, as suede will gradually conform to your foot over time. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.

Suede is wet or stained by water

Immediately blot excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture.

Loss of grip on the sole

Inspect the rubber sole for wear and tear. If the treads are significantly worn, the grip will naturally decrease. Ensure the walking surface is dry, as rubber soles can become less effective on wet or icy surfaces. Regular cleaning of the soles can also remove any embedded debris that might reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Adidas Handball Spezial requires no complex setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.

  1. Unpack: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lace Adjustment: Loosen the laces to comfortably slide your foot in.
  3. Tighten: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose.
  4. First Wear: Walk around in them briefly to ensure comfort before extended use.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: Pair well with denim jeans, cargo pants, chinos, shorts, and casual skirts/dresses.
  • Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, social gatherings, concerts, light urban exploration, and leisure activities.
  • Season: Best suited for dry, temperate weather.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the suede's appearance and the shoe's longevity.

  • Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to create a protective barrier. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  • Regular Cleaning:
  • Brush: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Stains: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Follow product instructions carefully.
  • Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a damp cloth (not wet) and then gently brushed, can be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing.
