FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While inspired by 70s indoor sports shoes, the modern adidas Originals Handball Spezial is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and style. It is not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I properly clean the suede material on these shoes?

To clean the suede, first remove loose dirt with a specialized suede brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Adidas shoes typically run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend checking the official adidas size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy or wet weather?

The suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by water. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.

What is the primary material of the upper and sole?

The upper is crafted from premium suede with synthetic accents, while the outsole is made from classic gum rubber, offering both durability and a distinctive retro look.

Are there any specific features for durability?

Yes, the adidas Handball Spezial includes a reinforced toe and heel, which provides extra durability and helps extend the lifespan of the shoes during normal, casual use.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a quality suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, the suede may need a short break-in period. Consider adjusting the lacing or trying thinner socks. If discomfort persists, an alternative insole might offer more personalized support.

Suede has lost its texture or looks matted.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore its original nap and texture. For persistent matting, a suede eraser can sometimes help.

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The gum rubber outsole provides good grip for casual use, especially on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or extremely smooth surfaces, as the shoe is not designed for advanced traction in such conditions.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your Handball Spezial shoes, especially their premium suede upper, is crucial for longevity and appearance.

  1. Suede Cleaning: For dirt or light stains on the suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove debris. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the nap.
  2. Water Protection: Suede is not water-resistant. It's highly recommended to apply a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for suede before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
  3. Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure no soap residue remains.
  4. Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture when not in use.
