FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Handball Spezial series generally follows standard adidas sizing, though the soft leather lining may feel more snug than synthetic alternatives.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede trainers in water or use a washing machine, as this will damage the material and construction.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a professional-grade suede repellent spray to improve water resistance.
How do I maintain the gold lettering?
Avoid scrubbing the area where the logo is printed. Clean the area around it with a soft, dry cloth.
Are these suitable for high-intensity sports?
While based on a handball silhouette, this specific 'Made in Germany' edition is intended as a lifestyle fashion sneaker, not for modern professional sports.
Troubleshooting
Visible water marks on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the texture.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees immediately after taking them off to minimize permanent creasing.
Stains on the leather lining
Wipe the interior gently with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and ensure it air-dries completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers last, regular upkeep is essential. Before the first wear, use a suede-specific protective spray to create a barrier against dust and moisture. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt in the direction of the nap. For the outsole, a damp cloth with mild soap can wipe away grime. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the navy dye to fade over time. Using shoe trees can help the sneakers maintain their shape after a day of wear.
