Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the slim profile slightly snug.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the suede material and cause the glues to deteriorate. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the upper is crafted from premium cow suede leather.
How do I remove water spots from the suede?
Gently dab the area with a dry microfiber cloth to soak up excess moisture, then let it air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the primary function of the gum sole?
The gum rubber provides excellent grip on flat surfaces and contributes to the iconic 'terrace' style history of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the mark in circular motions until the scuff is lifted.
Material loses its soft texture
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the material in one direction to realign the fibers.
Inner sole feels thin or worn
Since the OrthoLite liner is removable, it can be replaced with a secondary orthotic insole if more arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, proper care is essential.
Care Instructions:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against environmental elements.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige color from fading.
Compatibility:
These trainers are standard UK adult sizes and follow traditional adidas sizing. They are best worn with mid-weight socks for a snug, secure fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider testing your fit at the end of the day when feet are at their natural maximum size.
