Product Information

Full details

The adidas Handball Spezial is a timeless heritage trainer designed for adults who value a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern comfort. Originally engineered for elite handball players in 1979, these suede sneakers now serve as a versatile footwear option for everyday casual wear, offering superior cushioning via an OrthoLite sock liner. While they provide excellent style and support, users should be aware that the suede upper requires consistent care to maintain its appearance compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Handball Spezial generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer going up half a size.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods only.

What is an OrthoLite sock liner?

It is a high-performance insole that provides long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management.

Is the sole non-marking?

The gum rubber outsole is designed for indoor court traction and is generally non-marking on typical indoor surfaces.

Are these suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers. They do not have the specialized impact protection or technical support required for running.

Does the suede color bleed?

While the dyes are high quality, intense moisture can cause minor color transfer. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on the suede

Lightly steam the area and use a suede brush to restore the nap once dry.

Difficulty keeping laces tight

Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue loop to prevent slippage.

Insole comfort has decreased

Remove the OrthoLite liner and wash it according to the manufacturer's instructions or replace it with a new standard insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Handball Spezial trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
  2. Stain Removal: For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner foam. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Weather Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect against light moisture.
