FAQs

What material is the upper of the adidas Handball Spezial made from?

The upper is crafted from 100% smooth suede leather, giving the shoes a premium feel and retro look.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

While originally designed for handball in 1979, the adidas Handball Spezial is now primarily a lifestyle shoe. It is optimized for everyday comfort and style rather than high-performance sports.

How should I clean my Handball Spezial shoes?

For the suede upper, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, gently blot with a clean cloth or use a suede-specific cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water. The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The lace closure and specially formulated sock liner are designed to provide a snug, comfortable fit, and the shoes generally run true to size.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?

The soft gum rubber outsole provides excellent comfort, contributes to the shoe's authentic vintage style, and offers reliable grip and traction on various surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is generally recommended to avoid wearing suede shoes, including the Handball Spezial, in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be sensitive to moisture and may get damaged, stained, or lose its texture.

What does the 'T-toe construction' refer to?

The T-toe construction is a classic design feature on the toe box of the shoe, contributing to its iconic retro aesthetic and durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore the original texture and appearance.

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede

Allow any mud or dirt to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For light stains, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can spread the stain or damage the suede.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across the eyelets until you achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit tailored to your foot shape.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes

Remove the shoes from storage and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your suede Handball Spezial shoes:

  • Suede Upper: Avoid prolonged exposure to water and moisture. For general cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For light stains, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, a suede cleaner specifically designed for nubuck and suede can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Gum Rubber Outsole: The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
